Tottenham v Chelsea Starting XI’s – Romero and van de Ven start
Ange Postecoglou has selected his Tottenham Hotspur side which will play against Chelsea this afternoon.
The team news has been confirmed for Spurs v Chelsea
Tottenham’s 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth on Thursday evening continued their poor start to the Premier League campaign and come up against their in-form London rivals.
Chelsea are flying high under new boss Enzo Maresca having come into this weekend second in the Premier League table.
Tottenham’s ever-growing list of injuries grew further in midweek when Ben Davies picked up a hamstring problem which has ruled him out of the foreseeable future.
Micky van de Ven also remains out with his own hamstring injury, while Richarlison, Wilson Odobert and Mikey Moore are not expected to return until 2025.
Rodrigo Bentancur once again misses out as he serves the fourth match of his seven-game domestic suspension, a decision which Tottenham have appealed against believing the sanction is severe.
