Predicted Chelsea XI: Tottenham Hotspur (H)

Chelsea welcome London rivals Tottenham to Stamford Bridge this afternoon with the chance to go top of the table.

Frank Lampard will see a familiar face in the away dugout as Jose Mourinho returns to the Bridge as manager of Spurs, with both harbouring early title dreams following their respective strong starts.

Lampard’s side come into the clash unbeaten in 10 matches in all competitions and can call upon Kai Havertz and potentially Christian Pulisic once again as both men return to fitness.

Chelsea sealed qualification to the knockout stages of the Champions League in midweek, meaning they can go full strength for this one without the fear of another big game on the horizon.

The key man for the Blues will be Timo Werner – the German striker is in fine form and could target the visiting defence, which will be without Toby Alderweireld. Olivier Giroud, who came off the bench to score the winner against Rennes on Tuesday, could also be pushing for a start.

Here’s how we think Lampard will lineup, with three changes from the team which started in France five days ago.
