Ndombele returns, Alderweireld and Alli starts - the team Spurs fans want to see vs Chelsea

Tottenham Hotspur could go above Chelsea this afternoon.

Results last weekend were perfect for the Lilywhites who themselves beat Wolves 2-1 thanks to Jan Vertonghen's late winner.

The defender managed to sneak away from his marker to head home from 12 yards in stoppage time after Adama Traore had equalised for the hosts following Lucas Moura's opener.

Premier League match preview: Tottenham v Chelsea

Up next, Spurs face a Chelsea side who are likely to be low on confidence following four defeats in their last five Premier League games, including a 1-0 loss against Bournemouth last time out.

Three of our reporters came up with their own line ups for Mourinho's side against Chelsea, and we asked the fans to pick their own.

And there was one big change in the centre of the pitch.

In goal, Paulo Gazzaniga keeps his place, despite Michel Vorm's return to training this week. In defence, it is as expected, with Spurs fans hoping to see Serge Aurier, Toby Alderweireld, Davinson Sanchez and Jan Vertonghen.

In midfield, the fans have gone for a balanced line up, with the return of Tanguy Ndombele in midfield.

He would form a base for the attack alongside Eric Dier, while Dele Alli will be hoping to continue his fine run of form in the starting XI.

Meanwhile, in attack Harry Kane is flanked by Lucas Moura and Son Heung-min with Spurs fans wanting to see how Frank Lampard's defence can cope against a potentially devastating front four.
