Tottenham Hotspur take on Chelsea at Stamford Bride on Wednesday night.
Tottenham head to West London off the back of a defeat, with Saturday’s 2-1 loss at Burnley ending a run of four straight Premier League wins.
Mauricio Pochettino’s anger at the final whistle was clear as he confronted referee Mike Dean, and he will be desperate to see his side respond in a big London derby.
Pochettino may make some changes to his side, and here’s how we predict he will line his side up at Stamford Bridge tomorrow night…
Hugo Lloris will almost certainly start in goal, featuring at Stamford Bridge for the first time this season having seen Paulo Gazzaniga start in the Carabao Cup in January.
A back three should be in place again, with Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld keeping their places, though Davinson Sanchez should return in place of Juan Foyth on the right.
Serge Aurier and Danny Rose started as the wing backs at Burnley, but Pochettino loves to rotate his wing backs, so Kieran Trippier and Ben Davies may come back into the side.
Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko are likely to start in midfield again, given that Eric Dier and Dele Alli remain out through injury, and Oliver Skipp is unlikely to be started in such a huge game.
Christian Eriksen disappointed against Burnley but surely won’t be dropped despite some calling for Erik Lamela to start, with Son Heung-min supporting Harry Kane up top.
That would leave Lamela on the bench, potentially alongside Gazzaniga, Foyth, Kyle Walker-Peters Victor Wanyama, Lucas Moura and Fernando Llorente, with Rose and Aurier’s roles a little unclear.
