How Chelsea could line-up against Spurs

Chelsea would be looking to avoid a back to back defeat for the first time in the Premier League in almost 45 years when they visit Wembley to play Spurs in a rematch of last season's FA Cup semi-final. This will be Spurs' home debut at Wembley and Chelsea's first away game of the campaign.

Chelsea have sold one of their prized assets (Nemanja Matic) and hence strengthened a rival. With Fabregas out due to a red card he received during the defeat to Burnley last week, the only reliable midfield option for the manager is Kanté. 

There is news from Chelsea's training ground that Bakayoko could be available for selection ahead of his debut match. Notwithstanding the fact that the manager has a selection headache, David Luiz could move to midfield, making room for Andreas Christensen to fill the central position of the three centre backs, Azpilicueta on the left side replacing suspended club captain Garry Cahill and new signing Antonio Rüdiger on the right side.

With Luiz partnering N'Golo Kanté in midfield, Victor Moses on the return from his ban will take back his position at right wing back along with Marcos Alonso on the left.

The front three attacking players available will be Boga on the left, Willian on the right and Álvaro Morata, who impressed on his debut Premier League game, having scored one and assisting another.

Hazard, though playing in the U23 match is still a doubt for this match.
