Tottenham vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League team news, line-ups and more today

Tottenham were outplayed at the Vitality Stadium to drop to 10th in the table – with a 4-0 win against Manchester City their only win in their last six games in all competitions.

Postecoglou went to applaud the away side at full-time but was then involved in an exchange with Spurs fans. The Australian nodded and pointed to his chest, as if asking “me?” before giving a thumbs up. Postecoglou said he had received some “pretty direct feedback”, which he said could not be repeated, but added that he did not like what he heard.

Ange Postecoglou is determined to break Tottenham’s current cycle of inconsistency.

Spurs tasted defeat at Bournemouth on Thursday night to continue their Jekyll and Hyde run of results this season amid embarrassing scenes as a minority of the club’s away support booed Postecoglou at full-time.

Extraordinary victories Manchester United, Aston Villa and Manchester City were combined with flat displays in defeats to Crystal Palace and Ipswich during a run of seven wins from their last 14 matches in all competitions.

Here’s how we see both teams line up today based on previous matches and updated injury lists:

Tottenham XI: Forster; Poro, Romero, Dragusin, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Maddison, son; Salt pans.

Chelsea XI: Sanchez; Caicedo, Disasi, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Lavia; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson.

Ben Davies was forced off against Bournemouth through injury and faces scans, leaving Rada Dragusin as Tottenham’s lone fully fit big-name centre-half. Versatile teenager Archie Gray replaced the Vitality Stadium, but Cristian Romero is back in training and may be forced into action. Rodrigo Bentancur is still banned, while Guglielmo Vicario is a long-term absentee. Heung Min Son is likely to be called into the starting side.

Enzo Maresca rotated his front line against Chelsea in Southampton in midweek, with Noni Madueke, Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix all impressing. It is possible, however, that Nicolas Jackson, Jadon Sancho and Pedro Neto are recalled, while Moises Caicedo could return to the right-back role he played impressively against Aston Villa.

Tottenham Hotspur risk dropping out of the race for a place in Europe as Ange Postecoglou’s side look to bounce back from defeat by Bournemouth in the London derby against Chelsea.

A draw at Fulham last weekend was followed by a disappointing performance at the Vitality Stadium, with Postecoglou involved in an angry confrontation with Spurs fans after the game.

It was uneven Premier League The club’s injury-riddled campaign is starting to bite, but Postecoglou will be hoping to get his side back to the level they showed in their demolition of Manchester City two weeks ago.

He may need to find that kind of form against a Chelsea side that impressed against Aston Villa and Southampton in the last seven days.
