As for team news, Christian Pulisic with a thigh injury looks doubtful for the Stamford Bridge clash. Bayer Leverkusen-import Kai Havertz having tested positive for Covid-19 earlier this month is a 50-50 probability for a start on Sunday.

N’Golo Kante is likely to be reinstated to the side having been benched in the Rennes outing. Olivier Giroud will in likelihood be introduced  at some point of the game given his ability to score late goals as he demonstrated in the win away at Rennes.

For Tottenham, Toby Alderweireld who had to limp out owing to muscle injury in the win against Man City may recover just in time for Sunday's derby although his start may still be under a cloud.

Key forwards Son Heung-Min and Harry Kane, along with Moussa Sissoko and Eric Dier all rested for the mid-week game against Ludogorets, will certainly make a start at Stamford Bridge while the useful Lo Celso will most likely be introduced by Mourinho at some stage of the match.

Chelsea  probable starting XI:

Mendy (goal), Thiago Silva, Zouma, Chilwell, Azpilicueta, Jorginho, Kovacic, Mount, Abraham, Werner, Hudson-Odoi.

Tottenham probable starting XI:

Lloris (goal), Reguilon, Alderweireld/Tanganga, Aurier, Hojbjerg, Dier, Sissoko, Ndombele, Son, Kane, Bergwijn.

Chelsea v Tottenham Hotspur Verdict

Chelsea have come out the better of the two sides in recent times having won four of their six encounters with the Spurs since 2019. The last time the two met was in a League Cup clash in September which Tottenham won on penalties.

Of the two, Chelsea look the more rested side going into the Stamford Bridge clash and with a scorer like German international Timo Werner in such great form in their ranks, the hosts have the slight edge in what promises to be an epic battle.
