Tottenham predicted team vs Chelsea: Injuries mean Antonio Conte must name very different team

Antonio Conte has plenty of injury doubts going into Tottenham's Premier League match at Chelsea on Sunday and that could mean a very different line-up.

The Tottenham head coach admitted on Friday afternoon that he has a number of issues in the squad after that dramatic win at Leicester and certain players were set to be checked on in Saturday's final training session.

Conte revealed that Emerson Royal was struggling with an injury, which is why he came off at half-time at the King Power Stadium so he could be a doubt for Sunday's match at Stamford Bridge.

If the Brazilian is a doubt then Matt Doherty could make a rare Premier League start, having made an impact in replacing Emerson on Wednesday night.

Conte also stated that he will have Eric Dier available again for the match at Chelsea which should see a reshuffle at the back.

He also indicated that Cristian Romero and Son Heung-min are close to a return from their injuries but are not yet available.

Steven Bergwijn will also be pushing for a start, if he is fit enough, after his match-winning display against the Foxes.

Here is the team we reckon Conte will select for Sunday's derby clash:

3-5-2: Lloris; Sanchez, Dier, Davies; Doherty, Skipp, Winks, Hojbjerg, Reguilon; Bergwijn, Kane.
