Chelsea will hope to extend their winning run this weekend when they travel to London rivals Tottenham.
Chelsea play away at Spurs on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League, where they’re aiming to win their fifth consecutive match across all competitions.
The Blues have gone into the weekend sitting second in the league table following on from thrashing Southampton by a 5-1 scoreline on Wednesday. It was interesting to see Enzo Maresca make seven changes for that Saints victory, but what kind of side will he pick on Sunday?
Chelsea’s predicted XI against Spurs includes the return of many big names to the team.

Craig Burley and Frank Leboeuf predict Tottenham vs Chelsea
ESPN pundits Craig Burley and Frank Leboeuf have predicted tomorrow’s London derby between Spurs and Chelsea, but they’ve disagreed with their pre-match guesses.
Pundit Prediction
Craig Burley Tottenham 2-2 Chelsea
Frank Leboeuf Tottenham 2-3 Chelsea
Alan Shearer has tipped Spurs to draw with Chelsea, which would go against the form guide.
In fairness, Ange Postecoglou’s side oddly look better against the top teams this season. While Spurs have beaten the likes of Manchester City, Aston Villa and Manchester United in convincing fashion this season, they’ve also suffered defeats to strugglers such as Ipswich Town and Crystal Palace.
Cole Palmer and Moises Caicedo the only ever-presents
Chelsea duo Cole Palmer and Moises Caicedo are the only players in the squad to start every single league match this season. This coincides with them being their best performers this season, too.

Alan Shearer praised Chelsea stars Palmer and Caicedo recently by naming them in his Premier League Team of the Season so far.
Caicedo is an aggressive box-to-box midfielder who’s justifying his £115m price tag this season. Meanwhile, attacking midfielder Palmer is enjoying a very productive second year at the club.
