Tottenham vs Chelsea: Starting XIs for EPL clash confirmed

Chelsea make two changes from their last Premier League outing, the 2-0 home loss to Brentford.

Marc Cucurella comes out as Reece James returns to captain the side. Noni Madueke is also dropped as Enzo Fernandez returns to midfield.

Benoît Badiashile is named on the bench after scoring in the Carabao Cup win over Blackburn last week, and so too is Mykhailo Mudryk.

Ange Postecoglou makes two changes.

Destiny Udogie returns to the Tottenham starting XI having missed the 2-1 victory at Crystal Palace with a knock. He replaces the absent Ben Davies at left-back.

There is also a start for Brennan Johnson in place of Richarlison, with the Brazilian dropping to the bench.
