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

        3 years, 7 months ago

        1. Paul Psychic Octopus
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          6 tackles though

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

    2. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Keeping for 1 more gw

    3. Crystal Alice
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      downgrading to afford KDB and mo

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

      Not an owner, but decent fixtures coming up. I'd keep one more GW at least.

    5. Wolfman180
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      May have to, already used my 2fts. Still feel he could grab a goal any time chelsea attack

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

      There's not really any good options to downgrade to if you already have Martinelli, Rodrigo possibly but I'm not sold yet so will probably hold mount for 1 last week

    7. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Im holding

    8. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Giving him one more week

    9. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I'm on WC so gonna bin him off and get reece James. 6.5 to find a mid though is quite tough. Might go Jlingz

    10. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Hard to justify keeping long term, but holding for 1 more week then shipping him as part of a bigger shake up

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

    Come on James one more return and 3 bonus please

  9. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

        • 15 Years

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

          The guy was put on this planet just for that one single moment

    2. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

  13. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Chelsea would be a better side if they started with Broja over Havertz

  14. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Spurs overhyped this game week. They have such a poor record at Stamford Bridge.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Kicking us while we're down in true CON fashion

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.

    3. La Roja
      • 14 Years

      Woeful performance by Kane

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Been absolutely anonymous

    4. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Perisic is such a flop, why Chelsea even have him still?

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Wrong one 😛

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Pulisic lol*

      3. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        The LeBron James of Soccer

    5. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Kane’s only gone & cinched it

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

        Ban

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

        Psychic.

    6. SkyByBo
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Kane has been awful today, not being able to fall over at the slightest touch on the half way line and win a free kick is really going to impact his play. Plus he missed a sitter..

    7. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Maguire greater goal threat than stupid Kane

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

      I must've missed Mendy's booking.

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

      This is a further blow to Utd title hopes imo. Chelsea more likely to challenge than Spurs. It’s probably the worst result here possible.

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

        lol

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

      Any chance Cucurella rises tonight?

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

        Depends on the missus

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

        Surely not

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

      Can someone post when it’s full time please, cheers!

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

      Wow. Kane.
