Ahead of the live stream of Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea, the confidence levels of the two teams could not be more different.

Spurs opened the Premier League season with three straight wins, but have since fallen off the wagon. A 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace in the Premier League, along with a worse performance, resulted in a 2-2 draw with French side Rennes in the European Conference.

Chelsea, on the other hand, are in good form. Newly-returned forward Romelu Lukaku has been on a tear, seemingly unstoppable. The only game Stamford Bridge have failed to win this season was an away draw against Liverpool.

Spurs are also on the verge of a player selection crisis. Steven Bergwein and Lucas Moura are injured, and Japhet Tangaga is suspended after receiving a red card at Selhurst Park last weekend. However, Eric Dier and Son Heung-Min are fit and start. Cristian Romero and Giovanni Lo Celso are also back from isolation by Covid. [The Chelsea camp is simpler. N'Golo Kante is unable to make the bench, with Mateo Kovacic deputizing for him. Reece James is also on the bench after his red card suspension against Liverpool. [Andreas Christensen, Jorginho, Mason Mount, and Cesar Azpilicueta return to the team.

Here is the lineup:

Tottenham Hotspur Lloris, Leite de Souza Junior, Romero, Dier, Legilon, Ndombele, Hojbjerg, Alli, Lo Celso, Kane, Son Heung-min

Chelsea Aliza Baraga, Christensen, Thiago Silva, Rüdiger, Azpilicueta, Jorginho, Kovacic, Alonso, Mount, Havelz, Lukaku
