Tottenham
Serious injury was added to serious insult at the Vitality Stadium on Thursday evening, as Tottenham lost yet another centre-back in Ben Davies to a hamstring problem, one that Postecoglou fears will sideline him for a while.
With Micky van de Ven also sidelined with a thigh problem, Cristian Romero's return from a toe injury cannot come soon enough, although the teenage Archie Gray might have to fill in alongside Radu Dragusin at the back for the time being.
Rodrigo Bentancur (suspended), Guglielmo Vicario (ankle), Richarlison (hamstring), Mikey Moore (illness) and Wilson Odobert (hamstring) also remain out of the first-team picture for the time being, and after restricting Son Heung-min to a second-half cameo on Thursday, Postecoglou should immediately recall his skipper for the derby.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Forster; Porro, Gray, Dragusin, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bissouma, Sarr; Johnson, Solanke, Son
Chelsea
Chelsea's primary selection concerns also come in defence, albeit not to the same degree as Tottenham's injury crisis, as Wesley Fofana and Reece James are the only senior players definitely missing for the visitors at the minute due to their hamstring problems.
Youngster Omari Kellyman is also absent for the same reason, and Mykhaylo Mudryk is ill, but would have never started this capital clash. Instead, Pedro Neto, Sancho and Nicolas Jackson could all come back into a refreshed attacking setup, even if Madueke, Nkunku and Joao Felix all made their mark at St Mary's.
Levi Colwill and Robert Sanchez are also primed to return in the Blues' backline, but Disasi's performance in midweek merits another start for the Frenchman in place of the stricken Fofana.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Sanchez; Gusto, Disasi, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Sancho, Palmer, Neto; Jackson
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 1-3 Chelsea
