Xabi Alonso is set to take his pre-match press conference from 1:30pm (UK time) today ahead of Chelsea's Premier League bout with Tottenham.
Saturday evening will see the Blues welcome Spurs, their fierce rivals, to Stamford Bridge under the lights in a huge top-flight clash. Chelsea go into the match as overwhelming favourites after a promising start to the season - and quite the contrast for Tottenham - but Roberto De Zerbi's side will be hoping to build some momentum after their first win of the campaign earlier this week against Coventry City.
Chelsea will be without No.1 goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez tomorrow evening after the Argentina international was stretchered off in last weekend's win over Everton. Martinez underwent surgery not long after to repair a fractured jaw but is now set for a spell on the sidelines.
We will hear from Alonso regarding the latest on Martinez, his replacement Mike Penders, an update on the fitness of Pep Chavarria, Tottenham's start to the season, and much, much more.
football.london are live at Chelsea's training base in Cobham throughout the afternoon to bring you every word the Blues manager has to say.
