Chelsea starting XI: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Rudiger, Sarr; Jorginho, Kovacic; Ziyech, Mount, Hudson-Odoi; Lukaku.
Chelsea substitutes: Bettinelli, Chalobah, Alonso, Kante, Barkley, Saul, Havertz, Pulisic, Werner.
Tottenham Hotspur starting XI: Lloris; Tanganga, Sanchez, Dier, Davies, Doherty; Hojbjerg, Winks; Sessegnon, Bergwijn, Kane.
Tottenham Hotspur substitutes: Gollini, Rodon, Reguilon, Emerson, White, Skipp, Gil, Lucas, Scarlett.
Chelsea go with Kepa Arrizabalaga in goal given that Edouard Mendy is still away at the Africa Cup of Nations.
It appears to be a back four for Thomas Tuchel’s men, with Cesar Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Antonio Rudiger and Malang Sarr all starting.
Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic feature in midfield, with Hakim Ziyech, Mason Mount and Callum Hudson-Odoi supporting Romelu Lukaku in attack.
Hudson-Odoi played very high on the left against Brighton in midweek, meaning this could look like a 4-2-2-2 at times.
This means Marcos Alonso drops to the bench, joining Marcus Bettinelli, Trevoh Chalobah, N’Golo Kante, Ross Barkley, Saul Niguez, Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic.
Tottenham have Hugo Lloris between the sticks, and it seems to be a back five of Japhet Tanganga, Davinson Sanchez, Eric Dier, Ben Davies and Matt Doherty.
Pierre-Emile Højbjerg joins Harry Winks in midfield, with Steven Bergwijn and £25million man Ryan Sessegnon joining Harry Kane in attack.
Lucas Moura surprisingly only makes the bench, though you can hardly leave Bergwijn out after he his heroics against Leicester City.
Sessegnon is a more surprising starter, especially in a front three.
Pierluigi Gollini, Joe Rodon, Sergio Reguilon, Emerson Royal, Harvey White, Oliver Skipp, Bryan Gil and Dane Scarlett make up the rest of the bench.
