Pedro Porro returns for Tottenham as it makes the short trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea on Saturday, Oct. 24 in a London derby.
Tottenham finally got off the mark Monday, Oct. 19 with a 3-1 win over Coventry City for its first Premier League victory of the season. The result lifted Spurs out of the bottom three.
Roberto De Zerbi remains without Lucas Bergvall, Sávio, Destiny Udogie, Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert. Rodrigo Bentancur also serves the second game of his suspension for a red card against Manchester United.
Here is how Spurs could line up against Chelsea:
Tottenham predicted lineup vs. Chelsea
- Goalkeeper: Kinsky
- Defense: Porro, Adarabioyo, Van Hecke, Van de Ven, Robertson
- Midfield: Tonali, Maddison
- Forwards: Kudus, Solanke, Marmoush
Porro should slot straight back in at right wing-back, with Archie Gray the likely player to drop out. Andy Robertson has been cleared to keep his place on the left after a knock
against Coventry.
