Mauricio Pochettino Chelsea manager
Mauricio Pochettino

Tottenham Hotspur travel to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday in order to take on Chelsea in the Premier League.

And Pochettino will be looking to set the record straight after Spurs’ 2-1 loss to Burnley on Saturday.

The Spurs boss clashed with referee Mike Dean after the Burnley game and he has now been charged with improper conduct by the FA.

The charge could result in a touchline ban but since Pochettino has until Thursday to appeal means that he will surely be present in the dugout vs Chelsea.



Spurs team news vs Chelsea:

Dele Alli is still sidelined with a hamstring injury and will not take any part vs Chelsea. Likewise, Eric Dier is also ill and the midfielder is most likely to miss the London Derby on Wednesday.

Foyth started in a three-man backline vs Burnley as Pochettino chose to rest Davinson Sanchez. But the latter should return to the starting line up Chelsea alongside Alderweireld and Vertonghen.




Danny Rose had a mixed outing vs Burnley and the left wing-back should be replaced by Ben Davies while the likes of Sissoko, Eriksen and Harry Winks are all expected to keep their place in the starting XI.




Like Sanchez, Kieran Trippier too was rested this weekend but the right-back should return back to the starting line up taking the place of Aurier.

Harry Kane has returned back early from injury and started the game vs Burnley and the England international is once again expected to upfront vs Chelsea – partnering Son.
