Chelsea host Tottenham tonight in a huge clash at the top of the Premier League table.
The Blues, who lost to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, are three points off Arsenal in fourth ahead of this evening’s visit of Spurs.
Tottenham, meanwhile, must bounce back from Saturday’s shock loss at Burnley to keep their dwindling title hopes alive.
Chelsea vs Tottenham: When it is?
The game in west London is scheduled for Wednesday, February 27 with kick-off set for 8pm.
Chelsea vs Tottenham: Team news
Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has decided to leave goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga on the bench for the clash with Tottenham.
Kepa was fined one week’s wages for his refusal to be substituted in the cup final, which the Blues lost on penalties, and has been replaced by Willy Caballero.
Marcos Alonso comes back in at left-back while Gonzalo Higuain also starts.
Tottenham are still without Dele Alli and Eric Dier but Mauricio Pochettino has no new injury concerns.
Alli is on the comeback trail from a hamstring injury while his England team-mate Dier is laid low with tonsillitis.
Neither will feature in west London but Pochettino has a full squad for their trip to Stamford Bridge otherwise.
Harry Kane started and scored at Turf Moor over the weekend and leads the line again.
