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.
