Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Spurs, Gilchrist starts

The Blues are currently without 14 first-team players following injury setbacks for Thiago Silva and Axel Disasi . Predicted Line-up: Djordje Petrovic has been the regular in goal for the Blues since Robert Sanchez 's injury earlier this season. He has been consistent and is now an undisputed starter between the sticks. In defence, there will be enforced changes with Silva and Disasi sidelined. Alfie Gilchrist is expected to replace Disasi at right-back. Benoit Badiashile should partner Trevoh Chalobah in central defence after Silva's injury. Marc Cucurella will continue in the left-back role. With Enzo Fernandez 's surgery, Moises Caicedo and Conor Gallagher are pretty much undisputed starters in the defensive midfield positions. Further forward, Cole Palmer will start in the number 10 role with Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke on the left and right wing. Nicolas Jackson is expected to lead the line as always. The Senegalese bagged a hat-trick in the reverse fixture after Spurs were down to nine men. Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1): Petrovic; Gilchrist, Chalobah, Badiashile, Cucurella; Caicedo, Gallagher; Madueke, Palmer, Mudryk; Jackson.
