Good evening from Chelsea
Welcome to SunSport's live blog coverage of the Premier League clash between Chelsea and Tottenham at Stamford Bridge - Kostas here, and I will be bringing you all the live action tonight.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson "are all good" and ready to return from injury.
However, this London derby comes too soon for Romeo Lavia, who poses as a doubt due to an unspecified injury.
Mykhailo Mudryk continues his suspension, while Marc Guiu (hamstring), Omari Kellyman (hamstring), Aaron Anselmino (knock) and David Datro Fofana (knee) remain sidelined.
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, on the other hand, announced there are no more fresh injuries in his squad for this fixture.
In fact, Postecoglou confirmed Lucas Bergvall is available for selection after overcoming a bout of illness he suffered during the international break.
However, the match with Chelsea may be coming too soon for Richarlison, who is dealing with a calf problem.
And Radu Dragusin (ACL), Dejan Kulusevski (foot) as well as Kevin Danso (hamstring) remain sidelined.
But Tottenham could be set for an unexpected boost as Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven may finally link up again at centre-back for the first time since December, when the North Londoners faced Chelsea in their first Prem meeting of the season.

A boost for the Blues
Enzo Maresca confirmed Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke are all ready to return ahead of their clash with Tottenham.
Palmer missed Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, and international duty, but is set to return.
Jackson and Madueke have been missing since February, but could return, with team news expected imminently.
The trio are Chelsa’s leading scorers in the Premier League this season, so their return will be a welcome boost for the Blues as they gear up for the run-in.

Thursday night live
The Premier League plays host to a clash in the capital, as Chelsea take on Tottenham at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues are in the midst of a tough battle for the top four, with Fulham and Bournemouth starting to tail off after poor results in the week.
However, Nottingham Forest, Manchester City and Newcastle all picked up three points each, so Chelsea need a big result to fire themselves back into the top four.
Tottenham are struggling a lot more than Enzo Maresca’s side this season, lingering down in 14th place in the league after a poor season.
Chelsea themselves have slipped to 6th, but have the chance to jump back to 4th with three points.
The Blues were comfortable last time out, but have since started to stagger in their form since Christmas.
