Tottenham have no time to sit and lick their wounds after their defeat at Bournemouth as a big derby clash with Chelsea follows hot on its heels.
Spurs will welcome Enzo Maresca's in-form and second-placed Blues side to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon looking to bounce back from another frustrating defeat, this time at the hands of the Cherries on Thursday evening at the Vitality Stadium.
There were further squad problems for Ange Postecoglou as he lost Ben Davies in the second half of the game to a hamstring injury which meant in that moment he had eight players out of action and the spine of his team missing. He will be hoping that at least one returns this weekend.
With that in mind we asked our two Tottenham correspondents Alasdair and Rob Guest what team they reckon Postecoglou should select to face Chelsea on Sunday. Here's what they came up with.
Alasdair Gold - Tottenham Hotspur correspondent
Cristian Romero is likely to only have one day of training after weeks out but Tottenham need him to play, with Radu Dragusin their only fit centre-back now. It would be a big ask to throw Archie Gray out of position into the middle of the defence against such a free-scoring Chelsea attack.
Elsewhere, Son Heung-min and Pedro Porro will come back into the side and there's the chance Postecoglou could bring in Timo Werner to bump up the number of fresh legs against a Chelsea side that not only played most of their match at Southampton with a numerical advantage but also have a day extra to recover.
James Maddison and Brennan Johnson could both be candidates for dropping to the bench and Postecoglou must find the balance between creativity and work rate, something that has proved easier said than done at times this season.
Gold's team: Forster; Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma, Kulusevski; Johnson, Solanke, Son.

Postecoglou really could do with making changes to his Tottenham team to face Chelsea but his options are severely limited. The first change he will have to make is by bringing someone into the team in place of the injured Ben Davies.
Postecoglou gave fans a glimmer of hope in his pre-match press conference that Cristian Romero could possibly be in a position to return and the World Cup winner should go straight into the side if available. If not, Archie Gray will probably be the man to partner Radu Dragusin unless Micky van de Ven miraculously returns to full fitness.
In midfield, Dejan Kulusevski could drop back into the middle three in order to bring Son Heung-min into the side. That in turn will see James Maddison drop out of the XI and Brennan Johnson shift over to the right flank.
Guest's team: Forster; Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Udogie; Bissouma, Sarr, Kulusevski; Johnson, Solanke, Son.
