Tottenham vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League team news, line-ups and more today

Tottenham were outplayed at the Vitality Stadium and fell to 10th in the table – with the 4-0 victory at Manchester City their only win in the last six games in all competitions.

Postecoglou went to applaud the away end at full-time but was then involved in an exchange with Spurs supporters. The Australian nodded his head and pointed to his chest, appearing to ask “me?” before raising his thumb. Postecoglou said he received some “pretty direct feedback”, which he said could not repeat, but added that he did not like what he heard.

Ange Postecoglou is determined to break Tottenham’s current cycle of inconsistency.

Spurs tasted defeat at Bournemouth on Thursday night to continue their Jekyll and Hyde results this season amid unsavoury scenes as a minority of the club’s away support hurled abuse at Postecoglou at full time.

Outstanding wins over Manchester United, Aston Villa and Manchester City have been coupled with flat displays in defeats to Crystal Palace and Ipswich during a run of seven victories from their last 14 matches in all competitions.

Here’s how we see both teams lining up today based on previous matches and updated injury lists:

Tottenham XI: Forster; Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Solanke.

Chelsea XI: Sanchez; Caicedo, Disasi, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Lavia; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson.

Ben Davies was forced off against Bournemouth with injury and faces a scan, leaving Radu Dragusin as Tottenham’s lone fully-fit recognised centre-half. Versatile teenager Archie Gray filled in at the Vitality Stadium but Cristian Romero has been back in training and may be forced to feature. Rodrigo Bentancur remains banned while Guglielmo Vicario is a long-term absentee. Heung Min Son is likely to be recalled to the starting side.

Enzo Maresca rotated his Chelsea forward line at Southampton in midweek, with Noni Madueke, Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix all impressing. It is possible, though, that Nicolas Jackson, Jadon Sancho and Pedro Neto are all recalled, while Moises Caicedo might revert to a right-back role he fulfilled impressive against Aston Villa.

Tottenham vs Chelsea is due to kick off at 4.30pm GMT on Sunday 8 December at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham Hotspur risk slipping out of the race for a European place as Ange Postecoglou’s side look to bounce back from defeat at Bournemouth in a London derby against Chelsea.

A draw at Fulham last weekend was followed by a disappointing performance at the Vitality Stadium, with Postecoglou involved in an angry confrontation with Spurs supporters after the game.

It has been an uneven Premier League campaign for the club with injuries beginning to bite, but Postecoglou will hope to return his side to the level they showed in thrashing Manchester City a fortnight ago.

They may have to find that sort of form against a Chelsea side that has impressed against both Aston Villa and Southampton in the last seven days.
