Thomas Tuchel will be able to call upon almost his entire first team squad for their opening home fixture of the season as they face London rivals Tottenham hoping to make it two wins from two.
Chelsea beat Everton in their opening fixture 1-0 but will likely need to have an improved performance against a Spurs side who won 4-1 in their first game of the campaign against Southampton. Thomas Tuchel will have been happy to see the return of both Reece James and Ben Chilwell in his side's opening fixture, with both reported not to have been fully fit in the build-up.
Chilwell started for the first time since he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament against Juventus in November 2021 before being replaced in the 65th minute. Meanwhile, James managed to play 90 minutes despite Thomas Tuchel revealing that he was not fit in the build-up to the fixture.
