Tottenham vs Chelsea lineups: Frank Lampard changes system - confirmed team news and starting XIs

Frank Lampard looks to be adopting a change in formation in a bid to halt Chelsea's woeful recent Premier League form in the London derby against Tottenham.

The Blues boss brings back Fikayo Tomori into what looks like a three-man defence, with Marcos Alonso earning a recall and both Jorginho and Christian Pulisic dropping to the bench.

Tottenham, meanwhile, name the same starting XI that earned a last-gasp win over Wolves last weekend.

Tanguy Ndombele is deemed fit enough for the bench after injury, while Michel Vorm and Danny Rose are also named among the substitutes.
