Chelsea Confirmed Lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur in Premier League Clash
---------------------------------------------------------------------
### Chelsea Team News
Rober Sanchez starts in goal behind a back four of Moises Caicedo, Benoit Badiashile, Levi Colwill, and Marc Cucurella. Romeo Lavia partners Enzo Fernandez in the middle of the park but will likely spend most of his time next to an inverting Caicedo.
In the attack it is Pedro Neto and Jadon Sancho tasked with staying wide to attack Tottenham’s full-backs while Cole Palmer is behind Nicolas Jackson in the middle.
Filip Jorgensen is on the bench alongside Tosin Adarabioyo, Axel Disasi, Malo Gusto, Renato Veiga, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Noni Madueke, Joao Felix, and Christopher Nkunku.
**Chelsea Lineup:** Sanchez, Cucurella, Badiashile, Colwill, Caicedo, Enzo, Lavia, Sancho, Palmer, Neto, Jackson
### Notable Changes
It’s a return to the winning formula from the Aston Villa clash with a midfield of Lavia and Enzo allowing the latter to move up into the space near Palmer while Caicedo protects the flank and inverts in possession.
The wingers are all in constant competition with Neto getting to start after showing a great carrying threat recently, meanwhile, Sancho is rewarded for his consistent goal contributions with another start.
Badiashile comes in due to the injury to Wesley Fofana and appears to be preferred over Tosin.
### Tottenham Hotspure Team News
Forster, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie, Bissouma, Sarr, Kulusevski, Johnson, Solanke, Son
