Tottenham vs Chelsea official line-ups: Team news ahead of Carabao Cup fixture tonight
Tottenham welcome Chelsea to north London tonight as the Premier League clubs face off in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.
The two sides will be aiming not only to progress in the competition, but also to gain some momentum after both drew in the league last weekend.
Tottenham conceded a spot-kick late in added time after a controversial handball incident, meaning they shared points with Newcastle after a 1-1 draw, while Chelsea pulled off a dramatic second-half comeback against West Brom, erasing the 3-0 first-half lead built by the Baggies.
That result for the Blues followed their 6-0 thumping of Barnsley in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, a match in which new signing Kai Havertz got off the mark for the club by scoring a hat-trick. Meanwhile, Spurs were given a bye after a coronavirus outbreak among Leyton Orient’s first team meant the League Two club could not take part in the third-round tie.

Prediction
This is a tough one to call, with both teams having stuttered out of the gates this season. It will be interesting to see whether Reguilon and Mendy start for their respective sides and what kind of effect they could have on the game. While Chelsea have been inconsistent so far, they did net nine goals across two games last week. Expect them to edge an eventful affair… Tottenham 1-2 Chelsea.
