Predicted Tottenham Line-up To Face Chelsea In The Premier League
Tottenham Hotspur will travel to Stamford Bridge on Sunday to face London rivals, Chelsea. A colossal clash is expected between these powerhouse sides and with the Premier League season coming to an end, both teams will be hungry to secure three points.
Spurs come into this game on the back of two big wins against Swansea in the FA Cup and against Bournemouth in the Premier League. As far as the points table is concerned, Mauricio Pochettino’s men are five points ahead of the defending champions and the club will be looking to prevent them from closing the gap.

Eric Dier (DM)
Dier’s calculated moves and influence in the middle will be key for Spurs to control the game.
Mousa Dembele (DM)
Dembele made way for Sissoko against Swansea but he is likely to return this weekend as Dier’s midfield partner.
Christian Eriksen (LW)
Eriksen is going from strength-to-strength for Tottenham and it is important that he uses his pace to break down the Chelsea defence.
Dele Alli (CAM)
Alli is a talented player and his creativity can unlock several doors for Spurs.
Erik Lamela (RW)
Lamela should be deployed on the right-wing, which is his preferred role.
Heung-min Son (CF)
