Chelsea face Tottenham this Sunday at Wembley, with Antonio Conte’s side looking to bounce back from the opening day defeat.

The Blues face arguably the toughest fixture on our season schedule on just the second week of the Premier League campaign – and it could not have come at a worse time.

Having been defeated by Arsenal in the Community Shield, and falling to a 3-2 defeat against Burnley at Stamford Bridge on the season’s curtain raiser – we really need a result in our next game.

We will have to do it without captain Gary Cahill and Cesc Fabregas, who are both suspended having picked up red cards last weekend.

During his pre-match press conference, Conte is quoted by the Chelsea website revealing that there is a chance Tiemoue Bakayoko could feature as he has no other options. He raised doubts as to whether both Eden Hazard and Pedro will be involved.

Here’s how we believe Chelsea will lineup on Sunday.
