Tottenham face an important challenge as they travel to Stamford Bridge this Saturday for their clash against Chelsea in the 29th round of the Premier League. Securing at least a point from this encounter would be crucial for Spurs to maintain their hopes of clinching a top-four finish by the end of the season.
Manager Tim Sherwood has placed his trust in his in-form striker to lead the charge in this pivotal match. However, he opted to start Algerian midfielder Bentaleb, while several players, including Christian Eriksen and defenders Younes Kaboul and Zeki Fryers, remain uncertain for the North London side.
Meanwhile, Chelsea’s lineup features Schurrle leading the attack, with Hazard positioned on the left flank. Terry and Cahill form the central defensive partnership, while Lampard is notably absent from the starting lineup.
Here are the confirmed lineups for both teams:
Chelsea: Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Matic, Lampard; Ramires, Hazard, Schurrle; Torres
Tottenham: Lloris, Naughton, Dawson, Kaboul, Vertonghen; Bentaleb, Sandro; Walker, Lennon, Sigurdsson; ADEBAYOR
