Tottenham predicted lineup vs Chelsea

Tottenham Hotspur can strengthen their top-four credentials with a win against London rivals Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.

With third-placed Manchester United taking on fifth-placed Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final, Spurs have a chance to get points on the board before their rivals return to Premier League action.

However, they face one hell of a mental hurdle - Chelsea have won every league fixture at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

With Antonio Conte still recovering from surgery at home in Italy, here's who Cristian Stellini could select to take on the Blues.

GK: Fraser Forster - Kept his first clean sheet for Tottenham in last week's 2-0 win at home to West Ham. Hugo Lloris is still a few weeks away from returning.

CB: Cristian Romero - Battled through a visible pain barrier on Sunday but is fit to go again.

CB: Eric Dier - 90min understands one of Spurs' longest-serving players is in line to receive a new contract.

CB: Clement Lenglet - Has looked a little shaky recently but with Ben Davies needed at wing-back, his place should be safe.

RM: Emerson Royal - Spurs' best player over the last month or so. What a sentence.

CM: Oliver Skipp - Impressed last time out so should just about have the edge over Pape Sarr.

CM: Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg - Tottenham's last remaining senior midfielder following injuries to Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma.

LM: Ben Davies - Deserves to start again in this role over Ivan Perisic after his impressive showing against West Ham.

RF: Dejan Kulusevski - Been short of confidence recently but started to show promising signs again in the West Ham win.

LF: Son Heung-min - Though Richarlison could do with a run of games, Stellini insists Son was rested rather than dropped last Sunday and so is expected to come in.

CF: Harry Kane - Tottenham's all-time record scorer. Go figure.

On this edition of Oh What A Night, part of the 90min podcast network, Sean Walsh & Jude Summerfield are joined by Toby Cudworth to discuss Tottenham's win against West Ham and look ahead to another London derby against Chelsea.
