As Tottenham Hotspur prepare to go toe-to-toe with Chelsea on Sunday, we have tried our best to call their predicted lineup.
Off the back of their 2-0 win against West Ham United, we expect Cristian Stellini to just make 2 changes to his side, as they aim to make a statement with a victory against Graham Potter’s underperforming Blues.
Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup vs Chelsea
With Hugo Lloris still nursing a long-term injury, Fraser Forster is expected to start in goal once again in our Tottenham predicted lineup against Chelsea.
At right wing-back, Emerson Royal is likely to keep his place in the side, considering the ‘perfect’ form he has been in, since Pedro Porro’s arrival, according to Ben Davies.
In the back 3, the ‘phenomenon’ Cristian Romero is also set to retain his place in our Tottenham predicted lineup against Chelsea, despite not looking at his commanding best since the World Cup.
The same goes for Eric Dier, who knows a thing or two about locking horns with their London rivals.
At left centre-back in the defensive trio however, we expect the first change in the XI with Ben Davies, who started at left wing-back against West Ham to play in a deeper role, with Clement Lenglet dropping to the bench.
As the Frenchman could well be benched against Chelsea, Ivan Perisic could return to the side.
As for the double pivot of Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg and Oliver Skipp, the pair seem likely to keep their places in the team to provide solidity to the side.
With Skipp recently praised by Conte after his impressive display against AC Milan via Football London, he would be keen on making an impression in yet another big game.
Up front, the only change could see the ‘high level’ Son Heung-min come in for Richarlison, with Dejan Kulusevski and Harry Kane starting once again.
Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup vs Chelsea: Forster, Royal, Romero, Dier, Davies, Perisic, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Kulusevski, Kane, Son
