Tottenham team news vs Chelsea: Predicted line up – Christian Eriksen fitness worry, SIX injured

Tottenham face London rivals Chelsea in a heated return to Premier League action at Wembley on Saturday. Spurs are struggling with injury problems going into the game, with up to six players set to be sidelined for the big clash. However, it’s not all bad news for Tottenham, with Christian Eriksen set to start after overcoming an abdominal injury. The Danish star was eased back into action before the international break, while he was used sparingly by Denmark over the course of his time with them. Eriksen is likely to slot into position on the right wing, with Dele Alli and Lucas Moura completing the attacking midfield trio behind Harry Kane. Defensive star Jan Vertonghen will not return to action until December, while Davinson Sanchez and Danny Rose are not ready to make comeback appearances yet. Kieran Trippier was forced off against Crystal Palace with a knock and was sidelined throughout the international break. The right-back is not expected to be fit to start, with Serge Aurier likely to replace him. Mousa Dembele has been ruled out for the rest of 2018, while forgotten man Theo Janssen completes the list of absentees. Eric Dier and Moussa Sissoko are set to start ahead of Harry Winks in the centre of midfield, while Juan Foyth is ready to continue alongside Toby Alderweireld in defence after making a big impression on his Argentina debut. Predicted Tottenham team vs Chelsea (4-2-3-1) Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Foyth, Davies; Sissoko, Dier; Moura, Alli, Eriksen; Kane.
