Team News

Chelsea have been struggling with tons of injuries since the start of the season. Unfortunately, the Blues do not have good news from their medical room as two more players are ruled out ahead of the match against Tottenham Hotspur. Manager Mauricio Pochettino said, “It’s not good news because we cannot recover any players in the last week. Only we need to add two more players, Thiago and Disasi. They will not be available for tomorrow(today).”

As for Tottenham, Ben Davies is out of the squad due to a calf injury and will miss the rest of the season. Captain Son Heung-min didn’t do well as a center forward against Arsenal. Therefore, the manager could recall Richarlison in the middle of the frontline, while Son could play in his usual left-wing position.

Possible Lineup for Chelsea: Petrovic; Gilchrist, Chalobah, Badiashile, Cucurella; Caicedo, Gallagher; Madueke, Palmer, Mudryk; Jackson

Possible Lineup for Spurs: Vicario; Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Emerson; Bissouma, Sarr, Maddison; Kulusevski, Richarlison, Son.

Prediction: Chelsea 1-2 Spurs

Since most of Chelsea’s first-team defenders are out of the squad, it will be difficult for the home side to keep a cleansheet against Tottenham Hotspur. It is no secret that Cole Palmer is a crucial player for the Blues and without him, Chelsea are below average. Therefore, Tottenham will win this match if they can stop Palmer effectively.
