Goal-Keeper
Tottenham’s new signing, Joe Hart is set to get an outing for the club today. For him, this fixture is one of the biggest ties he’ll be gracing in years, a contest he’ll be looking to utilise to show why he considered a solid name once.
Defenders
Given the horrendous nature of either side’s defence, a cleansheet is the last thing we are going to get from this encounter. Both the defences have seen their defensive acumen vanish up in smoke, sides which should indulge us in a goal scoring feast.
It’s a narrative which not only sees us limit our docket to the three picks but see us rope all the attackingly inclined names. We begin with Ben Chilwell from Chelsea who registered an assist in only minutes against Barnsley.
Linking up with him is counterpart and captain, Cesar Azpilicueta, a player who continues to be one of Chelsea’s finest defensive options. Elsewhere, Tottenham’s new entrant, Sergio Reguilon makes for an instant pick given his sprawling skill set, one which saw him be coveted by a slew of clubs.
Midfielders
For Kai Havertz, the foregone round of the Carabao Cup was his best moment in Chelsea colors till now. He ended up with a hattrick on the day, showing everyone why Chelsea had broken the bank to rope him into their setup.
Mason Mount was Chelsea’s man of the match against West Brom. His opening goal for the club began their renaissance on the day with the midfielder showing why he’s now a mainstay of Lampard’s attack.
Jorginho links up with the two owing to his ability to spray the ball everywhere and keep the ball moving quickly around the park. He also have Ross Barkley being indulged in after his goal in the previous matchup against Barnsley.
Tottenham on the other hand see us opt for the singular pick in the form of Steven Bergwijn.
Strikers
Despite being in the midst of a hectic and testing schedule, Harry Kane should be deployed by Tottenham once again. The striker is in solid touch at the moment, assisting four goals in his last two contests for the side.
Olivier Giroud will be snagged by us from Chelsea after he popped up with a goal the last time around.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Havertz’s hattrick in the foregone matchup sees him captain our side while Giroud is the vice-captain.
