The second and final Premier League match of the day is a big one, as Chelsea host Tottenham Hotspur in a London derby.

Kick-off at Stamford Bridge is 16:30 BST.

Thomas Tuchel makes two changes for Chelsea, with Marc Cucurella and Ruben Loftus-Cheek coming in for Ben Chilwell and Cesar Azpilicueta, both of whom are substitutes.

That suggests Reece James will feature as a right-sided centre-back alongside Thiago Silva and Kalidou Koulibaly.

Mateo Kovacic, meanwhile, misses out because of a knee injury, while Marcos Alonso is absent as he finalises his transfer to Barcelona.

As for Spurs, they are unchanged from Gameweek 1, with Matt Doherty and Ivan Perisic on the bench with new signing Richarlison.

However, they are without the injured Clement Lenglet and Oliver Skipp.

GAMEWEEK 2 LINE-UPS

Chelsea XI: Mendy, James, Silva, Koulibaly, Loftus-Cheek, Kante, Jorginho, Cucurella, Havertz, Mount, Sterling

Subs: Kepa, Pulisic, Chalobah, Broja, Hudson-Odoi, Chilwell, Ziyech, Gallagher, Azpilicueta

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Davies, Royal, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon, Kulusevski, Son, Kane

Subs: Forster, Doherty, Sanchez, Richarlison, Gil, Perisic, Tanganga, Moura, Bissouma

    Cucurella's hair blowing in the wind really is a mesmerizing sight.

    1. Mario Balofail
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Chelsea tend to own hairy player. David Luiz left, they bought Cucu

      1. Randaxus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        They have a hair quota.

  12. Rainer

    Son sighting!

  13. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    That was schoolboy defending from spurs tbh, all of their players in one half of the pitch. Bizarre

  14. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Look at me mummy I own James

    1. DycheDycheBaby

  18. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    James fighting for the baps too...winning goal ?

  19. el polako
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Mount involved in celebrations ?
    What a waste of space.

  20. BobbyDoesNotLook

    Will Tuchel push James to RWB in next game? Clearly more important there if your other option is okayish RLC?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Possibly. Was only RCB today to counter Son (who has been anonymous). Leeds are a fast team too so could be there again but it's clear what he offers at RWB...

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yep. Maybe question is where he is more important and I think you are right there with the logic where James might play in the future.

    2. KAALI_DAAL
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      RLC is okayish? We watching the same game mate?

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Not sure what you mean. James one goal and one world class chance created in couple of minutes so comparing that to RLC output today.

  21. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Downgrade James to Cucurella at your own risk.

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Spurs are trash

    1. Mario Balofail
      • 11 Years

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years

      Bro, you're a spurs 'fan'.....

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Fpl takes dominance!

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          no bro

        2. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          You've destroyed yourself here

        3. KDB4PREZ
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Pfffff football “fans” they say

  24. They are eating the dogs
    • 3 Years

    James is FPL goat.

  25. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Well done James, never any doubt haha

  26. fusen
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    451 for 70 minutes, James absolutely wasted and told to stay back as the only player for set pieces.

    Spurs equalise for 1-1, Tuchel changes to a back 5

    James sets up a a goal that is missed point blank and then scores a goal within 5 minutes.

    Maybe Tuchel will get the message?

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Probably not! But it's very clear

  27. OverTinker
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Jamesssssss you are never going out of my team!!!!!

  28. Wirtzle Gummidge

    I read a comment on how good this game is for non-owners just as James scored.

    Bliss.
