Mauricio Pochettino has made one change to his Chelsea side for tonight’s Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues will be hoping to maintain our impressive record against Spurs in the Premier League and continue our fine home form – the Blues have been beaten just once at Stamford Bridge in all competitions since the beginning of November.
Djordje Petrovic continues in goal for the Blues and will be protected by a back four of Alfie Gilchrist, Trevoh Chalobah, Benoit Badiashile and Marc Cucurella. Thiago Silva and Axel Disasi are the latest players ruled out through injury.
Moises Caicedo continues in midfield alongside Conor Gallagher, who again captains the Blues. Noni Madueke is set to continue off the right flank while Mykhailo Mudryk starts on the left.
Cole Palmer enters the game with seven goals in his previous two outings at Stamford Bridge and will operate centrally. Nicolas Jackson leads the Blues attack.
With 14 players ruled out for the Blues, there are places on the bench for several Academy products, including defenders Zak Sturge and Josh Acheampong, midfielders Kiano Dyer and Jimi Tauriainen, and attackers Leo Castledine and Tyrique George.
