Tottenham's unbeaten run since the first week defeat to Manchester United at the start of the season will be tested when they host their London rivals Chelsea on Sunday.
Team News:
Dele Alli will be missing the London derby due to suspension and his England counter-part Ryan Mason will be taking his place in the starting line-up. Pochettino confirmed that Algerian midfielder Nabil Bentaleb will be missing the fixture due to the ankle injury, which has kept him out since September. Midfielders Nacer Chadli and Alex Pritchard still remain on the sidelines.
Chelsea’s manager Jose Mourinho confirmed that John Terry and Ramires remain doubtful for the London derby. Kurt Zouma will be partnering with Gary Cahill in the central defense. Belgian shot-stopper Thibaut Courtois has returned to full training after missing two months of action due to foot injury, but he is still not in a contention to play the derby.
Probable line-ups:
Tottenham Hotspurs:
Lloris, Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Dier, Dembele, Son, Eriksen, Mason, Kane
Chelsea:
Begovic, Ivanovic, Zouma, Cahill, Azpilicueta, Fabregas, Matic; Willian,
Pedro, Hazard, Costa.
Predicted scoreline:
Tottenham 1 – 2 Chelsea
