Fixture: Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 20:00 (UK time)
Tottenham Hotspur have officially announced their starting line-up and substitutes to take on Chelsea in a crunch Premier League encounter at Stamford Bridge this evening.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino knows his side must take all three points away tonight in order to keep their slender chances of catching Leicester City at the top of the table alive. The Argentine chooses to hand Heung-Min Son a start, with Harry Kane also playing, as he hunts for the win. Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela also play and will be looking to create.
Mousa Dembele and Eric Dier look to control the midfield, ahead of centre-back pairing Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld. On the bench, Pochettino can turn to Clinton Njie if needed, while Nacer Chadli is another option.
Spurs were held to a 1-1 draw at home by West Brom last time out, while their earlier meeting with Chelsea this season finished in a 0-0 draw. Pochettino will be desperate to see his men return to winning ways this evening.
