Tottenham Hotspur team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Chelsea

Tottenham Hotspur will endeavour to recover from their lowly defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion when they welcome Chelsea to North London for Thursday's derby.

Just three days after being put to the sword by Liverpool, Jose Mourinho witnessed his team lose back-to-back matches as Leandro Trossard scored the only goal of the game in a 1-0 victory for the Seagulls.

The defeat was another blow to a Spurs side who had previously been tipped as title contenders, and they now find themselves six points adrift of the Champions League places alongside their midweek opponents Chelsea.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Thursday's derby.
