Chelsea
Lukaku was dropped from the squad to face Liverpool at the weekend following his revealing interview and may not be considered for selection here either, while Edouard Mendy is with Senegal for the Africa Cup of Nations.
It remains to be seen if Ruben Loftus-Cheek will recover from a bout of COVID-19 in time to start here, but Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Andreas Christensen and Timo Werner are expected to miss out.
Kepa Arrizabalaga will return in between the sticks with Mendy unavailable, while Jorginho, Callum Hudson-Odoi and potentially even Saul Niguez can feel hopeful of featuring from the off.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Kepa; Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Sarr; Hudson-Odoi, Jorginho, Kovacic, Alonso; Ziyech, Pulisic; Havertz
Tottenham Hotspur
As for Spurs, Steven Bergwijn, Cristian Romero and Ryan Sessegnon all remain out of contention, but Conte has no fresh injury concerns from the win at Watford.
The Italian may be forced into some rotation here given how hard he has worked his established first XI over the Christmas period, with Japhet Tanganga and Harry Winks both prime candidates to start.
Bryan Gil and Dele Alli could provide some fresh legs in the final third, while a lack of alternative options will once again see Harry Kane spearhead the charge.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Lloris; Tanganga, Sanchez, Davies; Emerson, Winks, Hojbjerg, Reguilon; Son, Kane, Gil
Prediction: Chelsea 0-0 Tottenham Hotspur
