THE TEAM NEWS
TOTTENHAM
- Spurs pulled off a superb late win at Wolves last week to close the gap on 4th-placed Chelsea as the revival under Jose Mourinho continues.
- Mourinho appears to have settled on this being his preferred team for now and an unchanged line-up is highly likely for this London derby.
- There are no new injury concerns coming into this clash with Chelsea but none of the absentees are expected to return until after Christmas.
Predicted line-up (4-2-3-1): Gazzaniga; Aurier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Vertonghen; Sissoko, Dier; Lucas Moura, Alli, Son; Kane
Unavailable: Lloris (Injured), Lamela (Injured), Vorm (Injured), Davies (Injured), Ndombele (Injured)
Doubtful:
CHELSEA
- Chelsea suffered a 0-1 loss at home last weekend to Bournemouth in a frustrating performance so they will be desperate to bounce back here.
- Frank Lampard is expected to make a couple of changes after such a flat display and he may decide to bring the in-form Kovacic back in.
- With the attack struggling for inspiration, he may also be inclined to bring Hudson-Odoi in with either Pulisic or Willian dropping out.
Predicted line-up (4-3-3): Kepa; James, Rudiger, Zouma, Azpilicueta; Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic; Willian, Abraham, Hudson-Odoi
Unavailable: Van Ginkel (Injured)
Doubtful: Giroud (Injured), Tomori (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Spurs' revival under Jose Mourinho continues but one thing that will alarm the Portuguese manager is how many goals they are shipping in at the back. Chelsea were uninspiring in attack last week but expect them to bounce back here and there is every chance this London derby will be a shootout.
