Tottenham vs Chelsea team news: Predictions and starting line ups for Premier League clash

Tottenham and Chelsea are back in Premier League action with a bang as the London rivals meet at Wembley this weekend.

Mauricio Pochettino has battled with number of post-World Cup injuries to key players already this season, but looks to have the boost of defender Jan Vertonghen back alongside compatriot Toby Alderweireld.

Erik Lamela has been in fine form this season, shining in the absence of both Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen at times, though having returned from international duty in South America on Friday, Saturday’s late kick off comes too soon.

The visitors, still undefeated under Maurizio Sarri, will wait on a fitness test for Mateo Kovacic while N’Golo Kante comes into the game fresh from signing a new five-year-deal.

Predicted line ups

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier, Winks, Eriksen, Alli, Lucas, Kane

Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, Barkley, Willian, Morata, Hazard
