Chelsea face one of their biggest clashes of the season on Sunday as they prepare for a London derby away at Tottenham. If the Blues have even the faintest of hopes of making a push for European football for next season, they have to turn their fortunes around against the Lilywhites.
The west London outfit sit 10th in the Premier League, 10 points off of Spurs in fourth, underlining the magnitude of the task at hand. While that means mounting pressure on manager Graham Potter over his future at the club, he will have to hold his nerve when it comes to the line-up he chooses.
Defeat to Southampton last week was a shock and the poor performance saw the side take a backwards step in what had been an otherwise progressive few weeks without a result to show for it. The main issue may have been team rotation, with a number of key stars missing.
