This is how we predict Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea will line up this weekend:

To be played on Saturday 22nd April 2017 at 16:15. Venue: Wembley Stadium,

Odds: Chelsea 13/8, Draw 23/10, Tottenham 17/10

Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea go head-to-head at Wembley on Saturday in the first FA Cup semi-final.

The two sides are currently fighting for the Premier League title, with Spurs encouraged by Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester United last time out.

That leaves the Blues four points clear of Tottenham with six matches remaining, and while Antonio Conte’s men are still in the box seat, the winners of this clash could have a psychological advantage when they return to league action later in the month.

Whoever wins this clash will take on either Arsenal or Manchester City in the final and it has been a while since the last four has been full of footballing heavyweights, making the upcoming semi-finals tantalising prospects.

In early team news, Tottenham are without Erik Lamela, Danny Rose and Harry Winks, while Michel Vorm is rated at 75 per cent to recover from a back injury.

As for Chelsea, they have minor doubts regarding Marcos Alonso and Thibaut Courtois, who both missed the match at Old Trafford, but the duo is expected to recover in time for Saturday.
