How Tottenham Hotspur could line up against Chelsea

How Spurs could line up against Chelsea

Antonio Conte is not expected to make any changes to his Tottenham Hotspur starting lineup for Sunday's Premier League meeting with Chelsea.

The Italian watched the North London outfit come from behind to register a 4-1 triumph over Southampton last weekend.

Despite the slow start, Spurs were ruthless in how they effectively had the game won by the hour mark, and the same players are likely to get another opportunity to impress.

The Spurs squad is boosted by the return of new signing Richarlison, who served a suspension carried over from his Everton days for the Saints game.

However, Dejan Kulusevski has made himself undroppable since his move to the club, and the Swede will line up alongside Son Heung-min and Harry Kane in the front three.

While Djed Spence will eventually expect to become first choice at right wing-back, the young Englishman will remain behind Emerson Royal in the pecking order for the time being.

The same applies to Yves Bissouma who will not dislodge Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur from their central-midfield roles this week.

Fellow midfielder Oliver Skipp remains sidelined with a hairline fracture to his heel, while Clement Lenglet is out with an adductor injury.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Kane, Son
