"Starting with the hosts, while Tottenham might have put in a rampant performance away at Everton last weekend as they stormed their way to a 3-0 victory on Merseyside, Spurs came crashing back down to earth on Wednesday night. Watching their EFL Cup adventure come to an end as they slumped to a 2-0 loss against Newcastle, Thomas Frank's men are seeking some recent stability."
"Yet to make a single appearance this season, England international James Maddison remains on the sidelines with a long-term knee injury. Dealing with what has become a staked injury list, Tottenham will also be without the likes of Dominic Solanke, Destiny Udogie, Yves Bissouma, Dujan Kulusevski and skipper Cristian Romero. Handed a full EFL Cup rest away at St. James' Park in midweek, defensive talisman Micky van de Ven will be handed a full recall."
Tottenham enter the London derby after a 3-0 win at Everton but followed up with a 2-0 EFL Cup defeat to Newcastle and only one win in four matches across competitions. Several key players remain sidelined, including James Maddison, Dominic Solanke, Destiny Udogie, Yves Bissouma, Dujan Kulusevski and Cristian Romero, while Micky van de Ven returns and Randal Kolo Muani is expected to lead the line. Chelsea suffered a 2-1 home loss to Sunderland but progressed in the EFL Cup with a 4-3 win at Wolves and have five wins from six games under Enzo Maresca. Betting markets suggest both-halves goals as a likely outcome.
