Chelsea travel across London to take on Tottenham Hotspur in the London Derby this Saturday and Maurizio Sarri will be one confident man.
The first reason being that his team are still unbeaten in the Premier League this season and with a win over Spurs they can maintain the pressure on league leaders Manchester City.
But the second and most important reason is the fact that the Blues boss has a completely fit squad to choose from.
Spurs vs Chelsea: Blues team news
Maurizio Sarri is not expected to make a whole lot of changes to his first eleven meaning Keppa Arrizabalaga will be infront of goal and the back line will remain the same.
Antonio Rudiger will be in central defence along with David Luiz. This partnership has more or less become the favourite for Maurizio Sarri which means that Gary Cahill will surely be sold off by the start of next season.
The midfield area might see on change with Ross Barkley coming into the squad in place of Matteo Kovacic. Kovacic has been recovering from a muscular injury but he should be declared fit for the Spurs vs Chelsea game. Having said that though, Sarri will not be wanting to take any risks during such an important clash.
The other two midfielders will remain the same as it was against the 0-0 draw vs Everton – Jorginho and N’Golo Kante.
The attacking third will also remain the same with Alvaro Morata playing down the middle and Eden Hazard and Willian on either flank. Olivier Giroud might be brought on during the second half if the Chelsea boss requires some serious ariel presence.
