Confirmed line-ups from Stamford Bridge

Chelsea take on London rivals Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge this evening.

The Blues head into the game off the back of a solid 2-0 win away to Everton last weekend. Pedro Neto scored both goals as Chelsea went away with all three points from the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Boss Xabi Alonso has been forced into a change in goal with Penders coming in for Martinez who picked up an injury last week. Acheampong starts in defence while Lacroix partners Colwill meaning Fofana has to settle for a place on the bench.

Hato and Neto start out wide with Caicedo joined by Henderson in the middle of the park. Lavia and Barco are named among the Chelsea substitutes this afternoon.

Palmer and Quenda support Rogers in attack with Pedro ruled out. Welbeck is on the bench after injury.

Tottenham climbed off the bottom of the table with a 3-1 victory over Coventry City last time out. Kinsky keeps goal once again for Spurs while Gray starts ahead of Porro at right-back.

Van Hecke partners Van de Ven in the middle of defence while Robertson starts at left-back with Udogie out. Tonali keeps his place in midfield along with Fernandes meaning Gallagher has to make-do with a place on the bench.

Kudus starts on the right flank for Tottenham this afternoon while Maddison keeps his place after scoring last time out. Tel and Marmoush also start in attack so Solanke and Kulusevski are named among the subs.
