Premier League leaders Chelsea visit White Hart Lane to take on Tottenham Hotspur and make it 14 wins in a row. Here are the confirmed lineups.

Mauricio Pochettino has welcomed back defenders Kyle Walkers and Jan Vertonghen from suspension. Tottenham could be starting with a formation similar to that of Chelsea’s with Eric Dier slotting in alongside Veronghen and Toby Alderweireld in the 3-man defence.

Meanwhile, Moussa Dembele makes a return to the starting XI after being rested in the match against Watford. Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli provide the supporting act to Harry Kane.

Chelsea, on the other hand, have their most selected starting XI for this match, with Spain international Pedro back having served a one-match suspension in the match against Stoke City, and has Diego Costa and Eden Hazard for company.

Nemanja Matic returns as well, and he sits alongside N’Golo Kante in the Chelsea midfield, ahead of the successful 3-man central defensive partnership of Cesar Azpilicueta, David Luiz and Gary Cahill. Youngsters Kurt Zouma and Nathaniel Chalobah make the bench.
