Thomas Tuchel drops Chelsea team news hint ahead of Tottenham clash with new signing set to play

After four matches, eight goals for and none against, Chelsea well and truly got one over Tottenham last season. The Blues won the two league matches by a 5-0 aggregate scoreline and had the pleasure of defeating their London rivals home and away again in the Carabao Cup semi-final.

Three of the matches were also against Antonio Conte following his arrival in North London, but it's still a very different Spurs side that will walk out at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. The ex-Chelsea manager has had a transformative transfer window with six new signings and the promise of more to come.

Conte's side have already been tipped to challenge Liverpool and Manchester City for the league title and Chelsea are largely viewed as being unprepared for their clash this weekend. However, Tuchel's team were boosted by overthrowing the Goodison Park curse for a season and have had a week to work with new signing Marc Cucurella, who could make his first start for the club on Sunday.
