Son Heung-min remains out of the Tottenham team as Antonio Conte's unchanged team aim to open up a 14-point gap by beating Chelsea at home in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Spurs have struggled against the Blues over the years, but find themselves in fourth place this time out with Graham Potter's expensively-assembled team in 10th place, 11 points behind Conte's side. The Italian is currently recovering in his Turin home after returning too early from emergency surgery to remove his gallbladder so will not be on the touchline on Sunday but he and his assistant boss Cristian Stellini will pick the side together to face Chelsea.
Stellini said on Friday that Spurs have no new injuries and he suggested that Son Heung-min being dropped for the win against West Ham - the South Korean came off the bench to score - was exactly what the player needed after suffering from a problem in recent weeks.

However, despite that goal and that rest Son remains on the bench with Richarlison again in the starting line-up. Elsewhere, Ivan Perisic also keeps his spot on the bench with Ben Davies a left wing-back with Clement Lenglet still in the left-sided centre-back slot.
Oliver Skipp's fine display alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg sees him keep his spot ahead of Pape Matar Sarr in Spurs' injury-hit midfield.
Here is the team Conte and Stellini have selected to face the Blues:
Forster; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Emerson, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Davies; Kulusevski, Kane, Richarlison. Subs: Austin, Sanchez, Tanganga, Perisic, Porro, Sarr, Danjuma, Lucas, Son.
