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

  2. gooberman

    2-1 down and Conte brings his best attacking player off. Of course.

  3. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Hojberg essential

  4. Bavarian
    • 8 Years

  8. thegame983
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    My captain Erling is my lowest scoring player

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Sounds like quite a GW

  9. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    It's gonna have to be a GW3 wildcard...

    Mendy, Ward
    Trent, Robbo, Cancelo, Walker, James
    Kulu, Martinelli, Benrahma, Dasilva, Andreas
    Haaland, Darwin, Jesus.

    0.6 ITB. Can wait until Monday night to pull the trigger.

    1. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No Salah. Try again

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Staying that way.

  10. el polako
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Mount to Matic ?

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Matic would be more attacking.

      1. el polako
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        And cash saving.

  11. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    He has to start Perisic next game, he has too

  12. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Kulu somehow escaping the mass subbing. Bodes well for the future.

  13. OverTinker
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    still lot of time for another Reece GOAT James return

  14. CheesyZoot
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Best mount replacement?

    He’s hardly had a sniff today…

    1. jonny77
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Thinking the same but I know as soon as we get rid he'll bag a brace next week or something

      1. CheesyZoot
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Yeh true, wish I’d just stuck to my guns and gone to Foden this week…

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I will probably go down to Groß to afford Jesus up top.

    3. Tomerick
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He has Leeds next week. You know what happens next.

      1. jonny77
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        yeah, i'll probably hold him for one last week...

    4. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I’m close to going for Kulu. Even for a hit

  15. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    The great big sell off of Kane and Son coming.

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      The spursian extinction

  16. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Kante broken

  17. Saka Punch
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Yeah benching James for Bailey was a terrible decision in hindsight

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Sorry, but not only in hindsight.

      1. Saka Punch
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Thought spurs would score a couple tbh

        1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          They still have a chance 🙂

  18. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Foden would have taken the shot

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Lol. Good one

  19. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years

  20. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Dont like this 5 subs rule. The game constantly being interrupted so more subs can come on

    1. Davros
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Isn’t it same number of interruptions (3) but just more subs?

      1. ZimZalabim
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        it is

  21. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Gonna have to decide which of my 2 fpl teams to make my main one moving forward really….

  22. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Bailey/Trippier to Andreas/James for free?

  23. g40steve
    • 8 Years

      3 years, 7 months ago

      Kane is USELESS, get out of my team

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        He’ll explode next game

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 7 months ago

            USELESS

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Mount almost scored

        1. el polako
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Almost don't count, another overhyped English player.

      3. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years

        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          He's good at hitting people when they aren't looking. His elbow/forearm on Burn last season was shocking.
