Reece James and Thiago Silva set to start for Chelsea vs Spurs
Chelsea duo Reece James and Thiago Silva are expected to return to the starting line-up against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.
Blues boss Graham Potter made the surprise decision to rest the duo against Southampton last week where they suffered a shock defeat.
The London giants are now winless in the last four league games and they will be desperate to return to winning ways against Tottenham.
James and Silva are expected to be reinstated into the starting line-up on Sunday and there could be plenty of more changes from Potter.
Chelsea have been poor with their performances over the last few months, but Potter has continued to receive the support of the board.
The hierarchy don't plan to sack the 47-year-old for the time being, but they could take drastic measures if the current form continues.
The Blues still have an outside chance of making the top four, but may have to win every game from now to take advantage of slip-ups.
