Chelsea XI vs Tottenham: Edouard Mendy debut - confirmed team news, starting lineup

Frank Lampard has handed new goalkeeper Edouard Mendy his Chelsea debut against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup tonight.

Mendy joined Chelsea for £22million from Rennes last Thursday and the Senegal internationalstarts this fourth-round tie.

Ben Chilwell also makes his first Chelsea start. The England left-back made his debut as a late substitute in the previous round against Barnsley last week and is stepping up his recovery from a heel injury.

Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech are closing in on a return to fitness but both remain sidelined, so Callum Hudson-Odoi gets another opportunity to impress after doing well off the bench against West Brom.

Chelsea XI: Mendy, Azpilicueta, Zouma, Tomori, Chilwell, Jorginho, Kovacic, Hudson-Odoi, Mount, Werner, Giroud

Subs: Kepa, James, Emerson, Kante, Barkley, Havertz, Abraham

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Alderweireld, Dier, Tanganga, Aurier, Gedson, Ndombele, Sissoko, Reguilon, Bergwijn, Lamela

Subs: Hart, Doherty, Sanchez, Davies, Hojbjerg, Lucas, Kane
