Tottenham XI: Lloris, Sissoko, Alderweireld, Son, Aurier, Hojbjerg, Ben Davies, Dier, Bergwijn, Ndombele, Carlos VinÃcius
Subs: Hart, Bale, Lamela, Lucas, Doherty, Winks, Sanchez, J. Rodon, Tanganga
For Thomas Tuchel, has called up Recce James for the full back while Marco Alonso looks to be favourite ahead of Ben Chilwell.
Kovacic and Jorginho remain in the midfield as they are expected to provide cover for the defenders.
Timo Werner has been handed his fist start in attack under Tuchel and he will be assisted by Mason Mount and Hudson-Odoi.
Chelsea XI: Thiago Silva, Azpilicueta, Alonso, Kovacic, Jorginho, Rudiger, E. Mendy, Werner, Mount, Reece James, Hudson-Odoi
