Team News: Didier Drogba starts for Chelsea

Didier Drogba has come into Chelsea's starting lineup for their Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge this evening.

The striker comes in for leading goalscorer Diego Costa, who is suspended after picking up his fifth booking of the campaign, and is the only change to the side that shared a goalless draw with Sunderland at the weekend.

Meanwhile, there is just one change for the visitors as well, following their 2-1 victory over Everton on Sunday.

Erik Lamela is back in the starting lineup in place of Roberto Soldado, who drops to the bench despite scoring the winner at the weekend.

Chelsea: Courtois, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Fabregas, Matic, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Drogba Subs: Cech, Luis, Zouma, Mikel, Schurrle, Salah, Remy

Tottenham: Lloris, Chiriches, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies, Mason, Bentaleb, Lamela, Eriksen, Lennon, Kane Subs: Kaboul, Paulinho, Soldado, Vorm, Dier, Naughton, Chadli
