Reece James and Marcos Alonso feature as the wing backs for Chelsea, with Mateo Kovacic joining Jorginho in the middle of the park.

Ross Barkley is handed a rare start today, joining Mason Mount in playing just off Olivier Giroud in the Chelsea attack, as Tammy Abraham is only fit for the bench.

Kurt Zouma, Emerson, Billy Gilmour, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Willian join Kepa and Abraham on the Chelsea bench today.

Meanwhile, Tottenham appear to have gone to a back five today, as Japhet Tanganga, Davinson Sanchez, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen and Ben Davies all start in front of Hugo Lloris.

Tanguy Ndombele is given a start today, joining Harry Winks and Giovani Lo Celso in the middle of the park as Eric Dier is dropped to the bench.
