GRAB your popcorn football fans as Tottenham host Chelsea in a blockbuster Premier League affair – and the action unfolds THIS Monday.
Ange Postecoglou has been a revelation to this Spurs side as the league leaders going into this weekend currently hold an undefeated record along with bitter rivals Arsenal.
And Tottenham’s recent comfortable 2-0 away win at Crystal Palace epitomised how much they have improved.
However, Spurs face another tough challenge in the form of Chelsea who are notoriously known for throwing a spanner in the works whenever these two face off.
Furthermore, confidence will have been restored amongst the Blues after their Brentford loss having booked a Carabao Cup quarter-final spot on Wednesday night.
In addition to that, Mauricio Pochettino would love nothing more than to halt the progress of his former team.
Ange Postecoglou’s men have had more than a week to rest since their 2-0 win against Crystal Palace.
However, the Tottenham gaffer is still expected to be without Destiny Udogie (knock), Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring), Manor Solomon (meniscus), Ivan Perisic (cruciate ligament), Hugo Lloris (groin) and Alfie Whiteman (ankle) for this tasty match.
Meanwhile, Mauricio Pochettino’s would have been delighted to see his Chelsea side progress to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals with no fresh injury concerns.
But the Blues boss will potentially still have a number of key players missing.
Carney Chukwuemeka (knee), Mykhailo Mudryk (muscle), Trevoh Chalobah (hamstring), Ben Chilwell (hamstring), Armando Broja (muscle), Romeo Lavia (ankle), Christopher Nkunku (knee) and Wesley Fofana (cruciate ligament) are all expected to be unavailable.
