Tottenham XI vs Chelsea: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup, injury latest for Premier League
Ange Postecoglou is aiming to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat to Chelsea
Tottenham centre-back pair Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven could start together in the Premier League against Chelsea for the first time since the reverse fixture in north London in December, in which they were both injured.
Ange Postecoglou is likely to go with his strongest side for Thursday’s game at Stamford Bridge, and rest players for Sunday’s visit of Southampton ahead of the Europa League quarter-final first leg against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Rorigo Bentancur, Lucas Bergvall and James Maddison are in pole position to make up the three-man midfield, although Pape Matar Sarr would add running power and Archie Gray is an option after starting at No6 in the defeat at Fulham before the international break.
