Tottenham predicted team vs Chelsea: Carlos Vinicius to get big chance as Serge Aurier returns

Jose Mourinho must get Tottenham Hotspur back to winning ways against his old side when Chelsea come to north London on Thursday night.

Spurs have won just three of their previous 11 Premier League matches and they need to rediscover their confidence after back-to-back defeats to Liverpool and Brighton.

Tottenham will be without Harry Kane, Giovani Lo Celso, Sergio Reguilon and Dele Alli for the match against Thomas Tuchel's men.

Serge Aurier is back in the fold after being left out of the squad to travel to Brighton.

Mourinho told football.london that Tanguy Ndombele had recovered from a knock suffered against Brighton and would be available for the game against Chelsea.

The Portuguese could decide to give a first Premier League start to Carlos Vinicius after his bright 45 minutes in the second half at The Amex Stadium.

The Spurs boss must also decide whether to stick with a back three or return to a back four for the visit of the Blues.

Here is the team we reckon Mourinho might go with against Tuchel's side.

(4-2-3-1) Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Rodon, Davies; Winks, Hojbjerg; Lamela, Ndombele, Son; Vinicius.
