Tottenham injury, suspension list and return dates for Chelsea: Archie Gray, Dominic Solanke latest

Reeling from the loss of one shot at silverware, a wildly inconsistent Tottenham Hotspur welcome London rivals Chelsea to their headquarters for Saturday's mouthwatering Premier League derby.

Thomas Frank's men were sent packing in the EFL Cup fourth round in midweek, succumbing to a 2-0 defeat at Newcastle United thanks to goals from Fabian Schar and Nick Woltemade.

However, the Lilywhites were resounding 3-0 victors in their last Premier League game against Everton, a result that left them third in the standings and five points below leaders Arsenal.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Chelsea, who did manage to reach the EFL Cup quarter-finals courtesy of an engrossing 4-3 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
