Chelsea predicted XI vs Tottenham Hotspur: Frank Lampard to hand Olivier Giroud just his third Premier League start

Forwards: Michy Batshuayi had a night to forget on Monday as he spurned opportunities to net with the score at 0-0. After Olivier Giroud impressed off the bench, we feel the Belgian will lose his place with the Frenchman earning just his third Premier League start under Lampard. Top scorer Tammy Abraham could be available but after injury worries would start on the bench. On the wings, injuries to Christian Pulisic and Callum Hudson-Odoi mean their is little option but to continue with Willian and Pedro on the flanks.

Predicted XI: Caballero; James, Zouma, Rudiger, Azpilicueta; Jorginho, Mount, Kovacic; Pedro, Willian, Giroud.
