What is the team news?

Christian Pulisic is set to return to the squad, but it is unlikely that he will play a large role on Sunday as he improves his match fitness. Kai Havertz could also be welcomed back to the squad after completing his self-isolation following his positive test.

Jose Mourinho will be hopeful that Hugo Lloris can recover from a knock in time to start, while Giovani Lo Celso and Steven Bergwijn are also doubts. Toby Alderweireld will miss out after the Belgian suffered a groin injury a week ago, with Joe Rodon in line for his full debut. Erik Lamela is still out.

Line-ups

Chelsea: Mendy, James, Zouma, Thiago Silva, Chilwell, Kovacic, Kante, Mount, Ziyech, Abraham, Werner

Tottenham: Lloris, Aurier, Rodon, Dier, Reguilon, Sissoko, Hojbjerg, Ndombele, Son, Bergwijn, Kane

Odds

Chelsea: 11/10

Draw: 5/2

Tottenham: 13/5

Prediction

Both sides are in sensational form, and have established themselves as two of the top sides in the league. While Chelsea look effective since Mendy signed, Harry Kane has been incredible this season with 16 goal involvements (seven goals, nine assists). There will be goals. 2-2.
