The Blues are currently 13th in the table with just 12 points on the board. They are 12 points adrift of the top four and have the opportunity to reduce the deficit with a victory against Spurs.

Predicted Line-up:

Robert Sanchez has played every minute of the Premier League campaign and he is expected to continue between the sticks against Ange Postecoglou 's side.

In defence, Reece James should make his first league start since his injury at right-back. Thiago Silva and Axel Disasi should start in the heart of the backline with Levi Colwill in the left-back position.

In midfield, Mauricio Pochettino should go with his strong combination. Enzo Fernandes and Moises Caicedo should line up in the holding midfield spot with Conor Gallagher in the creative position.

Further forward, Raheem Sterling and Mykhailo Mudryk are likely to get the nod on the right and left wing respectively. Cole Palmer could start as the false number nine with Nicolas Jackson 's poor form.

Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-3-3): Sanchez; James, Disasi, Silva, Colwill; Fernandez, Caicedo, Gallagher; Sterling, Palmer, Mudryk.
