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

    Haaland to Kane?

    1. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes to save 0.2

  4. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Wasn’t that an own goal? It was headed past the post by Kane and rebounded in by James.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I think it will be changed

  5. Malcolm Tucker for England …

    Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

    *sorry, just wanted to fit in

    Did Perisic do enough to hold another week and play v Wolves?

    1. PB-THE-VET
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He staying in my team.

      Bailey is the problem child

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Played 10 mins. Taking corners. First was awful. Second was perfect. Hard to say.

  7. Guba
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Some absolutely awful refereeing today. How on earth that isn’t given as a foul on cucurella I don’t know, I would love to know Taylor’s reasoning. Shocking.

    1. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Agree, this was horrendous.

    Kanee Jerker routine:

    2.Haaland to Kane

  9. Randaxus

    3 years, 7 months ago

    Tuchel is a C*** what an embarrassment.

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He has every right to be upset after those decisions.

      1. Randaxus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        He was clearly the one being aggressive, Conte is a nice guy even if he gets angry.

      2. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Well said ^

  10. Limbo
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    He never scores in August…

  11. beetlejuice
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Kane header was off target no? Or was it just a bad camera angle?

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

      Impossible to tell, was close

      1. Black Knights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I would argue that it’s basically gone in off the post as it is, and James’ touch definitely pushed it towards the goal. Without it, it’s hitting the post at best.

      2. Hiiler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        There was not a good camera angle. Could have been both ways. As I don't own neither chelsea players or Tottenham players , then it would be better for me if it was a own goal. But yeah no idea what will be the final call here. 🙂

  12. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Tuchel is a sly b....d. He caused that at the end.

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah, wouldn't let go of Conte's arm.

    2. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Cunte started it, Tuchel ended it.

  13. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Any chance the last one becomes James OG?

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

      Huge chance.

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No

  14. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Loved the needle in final 25 minutes or so of the game, we don't get this too often nowadays

  15. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Fair play to those who kept Kane with that price drop. Y’all deserve those points!

  16. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Fun game to watch- Spurs very resilient. Nice to see referees let them play

  17. Ninja Škrtel
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Bottomed sorry

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

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

      Wouldn't let go by the looks of it

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He had a joke hand buzzer

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

      Tuchel tugged on his arm demanding he looks at him while shaking hands lol

    4. fplgaruda
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Tuchel hold it. He is the one that should be to get sent off

    5. syke63
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He had a buzzer in his palm. Pranked him good.

  18. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    8 points transferred out for 5 points for a hit!

  19. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    A) Trippier to Mee
    B) Bailey to Dasilva

  20. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Chelsea cant afford to not play James at rwb regardless of rest

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

      When Fofana signs probably they will.

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

    So in a cage fight, people would be putting their money on Conte over Tuchel?

    1. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Definitely

    2. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Neither look very threatening

      1. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Conte looks like he'd get bitey. Tuchel looks vulnerable to garlic.

    3. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      You could fit tuchel through the letterbox

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

      Can't see either doing much damage.

  22. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    We will need 3 of Kane Haaland Jesus Darwin wow

  23. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Kane and James both in team plus bonus, il take it

  24. Eze Really?
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    RJames OG

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Looked on target to me

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Ya James was on target

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

    I’m hearing that the Kane and James goals are being ruled out as punishment for the manager’s altercation.

  26. fplgaruda
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Would pay to watch a boxing match between Tuchel and Conte

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      😆

    2. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Nobody

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

    Went Kane/James to Haaland/Walker.

    Hold me

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

      For -4, I should add

  28. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Surprised Conte’s wig didn’t come off during all that

  29. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    With BAP changes, if you own James & Kane and that goal is changed to an OG, you gain a big fat 0 from it...

  30. BobbyV
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Surely a Reece James own goal that!

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Should be

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Kane goal will stand

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Ridiculous if not but means upsetting a tonne of folks at FPL towers

    4. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Is there an angle that shows the Kane header was off target ?

      1. Zalk
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        No, let the kids have their fun while they can

    5. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Don't make Harry swear on his child's life again, he hates having to do that.

    6. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Just watch Kane swear over his daughter’s life in about 10 minutes time & they won’t change it
