Tottenham face Chelsea on Saturday in the Premier League.
Tottenham-Chelsea match preview
Tottenham host Chelsea on Saturday afternoon with the chance to keep the pressure on rivals Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.
Micky van de Ven’s exploits at Everton last weekend saw Spurs maintain third place in the table and a win against the Blues could see them continue the race.
Thomas Frank has started well at Tottenham and could make a statement with a home win. Both teams have scored 17 times in the league so far, so goals could be plentiful, while Chelsea have an excellent record at the new Spuurs ground.
The Blues have won five of their six league trips to Tottenham Stadium. What a record!
Tottenham vs Chelsea team news
Tottenham have numerous injury problems. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was in good form but missed the cup defeat at Newcastle in midweek but is expected to play.
Defenders Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie are doubtful, while Frank has a long list of long-term absentees, including James Maddison, Yves Bissouma, Dominic Solanke and Ben Davies.
Chelsea saw Liam Delap return from his hamstring injury in midweek, but he was sent off against Wolves and therefore does not benefit from a ban.
Cole Palmer is still missing, while Levi Colwill and Mykhalo Mudryk remain out long-term.
