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

    Kane, Haaland and Jesus strikeforce smashing it this week 🙂

      Darwin still has to play

        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 days ago

        True, shame we can’t have 4!
        Especially after a season where we barely wanted one!

  2. Zenith UK
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    40 points with three to play. What an awful week for me

  3. BeaversWithAttitude

    Can't believe Fubo TV cut to some irrelevant commercial right after a goal in the fading seconds... terrible coverage!

  4. JohnnyCroat
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Absolute scenes for the Perišić sellers, who now need him back...

    Kane nabs 2 baps too. 67 with the LFC defensive duo to play. Green arrows all round.

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Why do they?

    2. The Train Driver
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Why would they want a benched player who just assisted the assister?

      1. JohnnyCroat
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 days ago

        He did what now?

        1. Zenith UK
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 8 days ago

          Potential OG, Kane A

          1. JohnnyCroat
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 8 days ago

            The ball was on target - irrelevant if it touched a Chelsea defender on its way in (and it didn't look like it did on the replay I've seen)

    Chelsea robbed today. By far and away the better side.

    1. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Chelsea folded

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Sterling and his Mr Sitter impression was costly

    3. C-Dawgg
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      How did they just allow play to go one after he pulled him by his hair to the ground? They checked it and everything

  6. EDUARDO DA SILVA
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Corrupted league

  7. C_G
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    85 with Trent and Salah to go, Kane came through at the end. Happy I stuck w/ KDB and Kane and didnt transfer em out for Haaland and Kulu

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Ridiculous score, well played

    2. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Mental score, we’ll done

    3. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Nice! Who did you captain?

    4. JohnnyCroat
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Toight! Like a toiger!

    • 7 Years

    nice game

  9. Cok3y5murf
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Kane to Haaland kneejerkers to reverse the move now?

    1. jonny77
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      no why??? Haaland still looks a lot more dangerous than Kane

      1. TOBY1
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 days ago

        This

    2. PartyTime
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Hahaha 😆

    3. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Should of just keep both

    4. sulldaddy
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Nope. Kane not active really till last minute header...

      Guess he did miss a 1v1 situation too.

      Haaland better

  10. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Great entertainment but shockingly officiated match.

  11. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Half tempted to do haaland to nunez so I can afford upgrades elsewhere

  12. Football is home
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Kanee Jerker- person who replace Kane after one bad game

    1. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      I was always going to go Kane to Haaland GW2. Didnt pay off, I accept it.

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      1 game and 96 minutes

    3. SkyByBo
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      2 bad games, he was awful today

      1. Football is home
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 8 days ago

        I agree but he scored. That is all that counts in fantasy.

  13. DandyDon
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Jammy Jammy Perisic and Kane owners!
    Don’t know what FPL towers has been smoking if it thinks two Spurs players were best players on the pitch to!

    1. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      What you watch != baps

  14. Moose™
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Mount and Bailey out for?

    1. Kodap
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      I need to know this exact answer too..

  15. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Haaland back to Kane then. The game is easy this season

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      This is going to be a problem most weeks, Haaland being dragged off early. To cap knowing another player will play 90 minutes.

  16. C-Dawgg
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    That’s was one of the most entertaining games I’ve seen in ages

    1. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      So much fun

  17. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    2 hands yanking a bloke with long hair and VAR says it’s all good. Crikey, just seen it.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      VAR is a joke

    2. lespaul
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Should wait til the showers for that

  18. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Cucurella still essential then?

  19. @persecuted_by_mods
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Mendy owner
    James owner
    Perisic bencher
    Kane to Haaland transferer

    I am the new Supersaints

  20. FantasyTony

    *terrible refereeing performance*

    Souness: What an advertisement for our league

  21. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Chelsea got unlucky today tbh, both spurs goal could’ve easily been disallowed

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      It’s standard for Chelsea with Anthony Taylor. Not even a reactionary comment from me.

    2. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Two weeks in and we've seen some atrocious refereeing.
      Today was very poor from Taylor who has a history of being awful.

      Don't blame Tuchel for being upset.

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      should've*

  22. krzys
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Taylor still getting Chelsea matches, hard to see it as a coincidence anymore. There's a long list of shocking decisions

  23. Kodap
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    So if you owned both mount & Bailey, what would you do?

    Swap Bailey for Someone & hold mount?

  24. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    great to see referees let them play instead of flopping all over

  25. Pointless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Arise, Sir Harold!

  26. @persecuted_by_mods
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Not a Chelsea fan but the refs were shocking

  27. jonny77
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Mount the only player in my XI giving me a headache rn

  28. Ninja Škrtel
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Didn't quite get what Tuchel did to upset Conte. They shook hands and then what?

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Tuchel called Conte a points-chasing kneejerker.

    2. wrfly10
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Both excessively celebrated earlier so we’re already mad. But Conte wouldn’t look at Tuchel for handshake; so Tuchel didn’t let go and pulled Conte back

    3. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Tuchel just wanted to hold Contes hand a bit longer, Conte said he don't swing that way

  29. PB-THE-VET
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    James on for 1 BP?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Yep
