Tottenham Hotspur return to action on Sunday when they square off against Chelsea in the Premier League.
Ange Postecoglou's team have remained on their inconsistent path in recent games, most recently succumbing to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Bournemouth.
Now sitting down in 10th position in the Premier League table, Spurs are under pressure to deliver in a high-profile showdown with Enzo Maresca's side.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their showdown with one of their city rivals, who thrashed Southampton earlier this week.

Unlike Richarlison, Van de Ven's hamstring problem may have completely healed before the end of 2024. The Dutchman suggested on social media earlier this week that he is making progress with his rehabilitation, yet it is highly unlikely that he will be available on Sunday.
