Team News
Tottenham
There has been little movement in the Tottenham treatment room of late, with Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma, Hugo Lloris and Ryan Sessegnon all still sidelined, and the former has now undergone successful surgery on his ACL rupture - likely rendering him unavailable until November.

Emerson's redemption arc continued in last weekend's London derby, and the Brazilian should therefore continue to hold off Pedro Porro in the right-wing back slot, while Oliver Skipp ought to win the battle to partner Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the centre.

Utilising Ben Davies in the left-wing back area also paid dividends for Stellini against West Ham, and having scored off the bench for the fourth time in the Premier League this term, Son - who was not at 100% before last Sunday's game - can expect to immediately displace Richarlison.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Forster; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Emerson, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Davies; Kulusevski, Kane, Son

Chelsea
Meanwhile, the result of Chelsea's clash with Southampton was somewhat overshadowed by Cesar Azpilicueta's serious head injury, but the Spaniard has now been discharged from hospital and is recovering back home.

Armando Broja, Christian Pulisic and Edouard Mendy are keeping Azpilicueta company in the treatment room, but the Blues have received a huge double boost with N'Golo Kante, who is now back in team training and reportedly on the verge of signing a new deal.

Kante will not be considered for minutes just yet, but Potter will be expected to consider significant alterations either way, with Mykhaylo Mudryk, Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz targeting returns to the final third, while Thiago Silva and Reece James should be fit enough to start at the back as well.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Kepa; James, Silva, Badiashile, Chilwell; Kovacic, Fernandez; Mudryk, Felix, Sterling; Havertz
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Chelsea
