Posted on February 22, 2020

Tottenham Hotspur travels to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge as both teams renew London rivalry in the Premier League.

Spurs have picked up 10 points in their last four matches in the English League and this should worry Frank Lampard and his men ahead of this fixture.

If Spurs prevail on Saturday’s derby showdown, they will move ahead of the Blues in the League standings.

Here Chelseacore.com evaluates how Jose Mourinho’s side could line-up against his former club Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The Charismatic manager is expected to make multiple changes to the starting line-up while making certain reshuffling in the attacking set-up as the case may be.

Dele Alli could be handed an opportunity to feature probably as the false nine while Brazilian’s Lucas Moura or Steven Bergwijn could drop down to the substitute bench.

Tottenham’s striker Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min are sidelined in the long term meaning they are unavailable for this match.

This could also see Gedson Fernandes, who was impressive against German side RB Leipzig in Champions League in midweek, moved to the right wings while anticipating that Chelsea could revert to a back three.

Eric Dier and Tanguy Ndombele may get the nod ahead of Harry Winks in midfield if Giovani Le Celso is used in a more attacking position.

At left-back, Japhet Tanganga or Jan Vertoghen could replace the Welsh star as a result of Ben Davies not recovering from a back injury to feature against Chelsea.
