Fixture: Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 12:00 (UK time)

Tottenham Hotspur have officially announced their team to play Chelsea at White Hart Lane in a Premier League fixture this afternoon.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, who is without midfielder Dele Alli due to suspension, goes with Eric Dier and Ryan Mason in the centre of the park, with support from Moussa Dembele, Heung-Min Son and Christian Eriksen. Mason in for Alli is Spurs' only change from the side which beat West Ham last weekend. Harry Kane is Spurs focal point up front.




At the back, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen form the central defensive pairing, ahead of goalkeeper and captain Hugo Lloris. On the bench, Pochettino can turn to Clinton Njie as a further attacking option, while Erik Lamela is also amongst the substitutes.

Spurs go into the game sitting in fifth sport in the Premier League standings and knowing a win would push them above Arsenal and into the top four, even if only temporarily as the Gunners are in action later today.
