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

      Celebrating a 2-2 when you’re played off the park.

    Haaland to Kane?

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

      Yes to save 0.2

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

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

    1. THE Wild Rover
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      I think it will be changed

  5. Malcolm Tucker for England …

    Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

    *sorry, just wanted to fit in

      Haha

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

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

      He staying in my team.

      Bailey is the problem child

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

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

  7. Guba
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 days 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
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Agree, this was horrendous.

    Kanee Jerker routine:
    1.Kane to Haaland
    2.Haaland to Kane
    3.Repeat

  9. Randaxus

    Tuchel is a C*** what an embarrassment.

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

      He has every right to be upset after those decisions.

      1. Randaxus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 days ago

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

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

        Well said ^

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

    He never scores in August…

  11. beetlejuice
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

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

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

      Impossible to tell, was close

      1. Black Knights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 days 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
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 days 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. 🙂

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

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

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

    2. Zalk
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Cunte started it, Tuchel ended it.

  13. Thanos
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Any chance the last one becomes James OG?

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

      Huge chance.

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      No

  14. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

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

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

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

  16. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

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

    Bottomed sorry

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

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

      Wouldn't let go by the looks of it

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

      He had a joke hand buzzer

    3. Tcheco
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

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

    4. fplgaruda
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

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

    5. syke63
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

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

  18. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    8 points transferred out for 5 points for a hit!

  19. Tsparkes10
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    A) Trippier to Mee
    B) Bailey to Dasilva

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

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

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

      When Fofana signs probably they will.

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

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

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

      Definitely

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

      Neither look very threatening

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

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

    3. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      You could fit tuchel through the letterbox

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Can't see either doing much damage.

  22. Tcheco
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    We will need 3 of Kane Haaland Jesus Darwin wow

  23. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

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

  24. Eze Really?
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    RJames OG

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

      Looked on target to me

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

        Ya James was on target

  25. Tomerick
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 days 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
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Would pay to watch a boxing match between Tuchel and Conte

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

      😆

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

      Nobody

  27. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Went Kane/James to Haaland/Walker.

    Hold me

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      For -4, I should add

  28. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

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

  29. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 days 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
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Surely a Reece James own goal that!

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Should be

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Kane goal will stand

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

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

    4. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

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

      1. Zalk
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 8 days ago

        No, let the kids have their fun while they can

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

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

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

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