Chelsea goes for its first 'big six' win of the season this Sunday when it travels to north London to visit the struggling Tottenham Hotspur for a London derby.
The Blues continue to show significant progress under manager, Enzo Maresca, who remains very adamant that his team are not in a title race, despite currently sitting second in the Premier League. Chelsea is unbeaten in its last six league matches and have the most goals scored so far in the campaign.
On the other hand, Tottenham is on a downward spiral. Points dropped against Ipswich Town, Fulham and Bournemouth in three of its last four league games have seen it fall to 10th in the standings and has put manager, Ange Postecoglou, on the hot seat.
Chelsea will be without defenders Wesley Fofana and Reece James, who continue to recover from hamstring injuries. Mykhaylo Mudryk is nursing an illness but he'll hope to be available for the London derby. Maresca has most of his deep squad at his disposal to continue to keep pace with the top teams in English soccer.
Here's how Chelsea could lineup against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, Dec. 8.
