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

    Give Perisic one more week?

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

      I would

    2. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      yes, likely to start next game, its time.

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

        Cheers guys.

    3. JamTart
      • 8 Years

      I am. I'd have been happy with an assist and no cleansheet even if he started so really only 1 point down. Took him knowing the minutes risk GW1 and the hard GW2 fixture. The impact off the bench hopefully puts him in pole position for the good run of games.

  2. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Unlucky for James to score an OG - he had a good game otherwise.

    Love the fireworks at the end. The two most dislikable coaches in the prem coming to blows. Great spectacle

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

      Is Conte dislikable?

      1. Mr Arsenal
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 days ago

        Conte is a fake haired arrogant man

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

    So Haaland > Kane?

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

      Yes

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

        Hahahahaha

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

      I would even though i have both

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

    How many deductions for an OG?

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

      Ask Saliba

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

      -2 and lose a BAP too.

  5. Royal5
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Touchel need a mental coach.

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

      Agree

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

      Needs a proper dinner

      1. Royal5
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 8 days ago

        Lol

  6. lilmessipran
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Surely that was a James Og as Kane's shot was off target

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

      Looked on target to me

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

    Walker
    Mount
    Bailey

    Need to sort this 3 with 2 FTs

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

      What wrong with Walker?

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

    As a James owner and Kane non owner not sure what best outcome for my rank is

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

      Clearly the one where you don't get an OG

    2. Salarrivederci
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Both would lose 3 points.

      More managers owning Kane than James?

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

        And Perisic would lose 3 too.

        If you don't own the two Spurs players an OG would be preffered here.

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

        Yeah my thoughts

  9. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Kane will claim the goal of course as he always does.

    Then the prem will give him for he’s the England captain. As usual..

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

      There we go.

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

      The shot is on target though

      1. I Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 days ago

        Looked like it was sneaking wide to me.

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

    Spurs fans, don't you dare think you're title challengers. You were outplayed today. Needed a inept referee to get you 1pt.

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

      Surely no one thinks either of these teams are title challengers. Chelsea were better but are pretty toothless

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

      poor sport- Spurs resilient, and the referee let them play; refreshing

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

      I don't think they are, but title winning teams get results playing badly. It's always been said.

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

        They were clueless. Game should have been buried by Chelsea much earlier. Sterling was an odd transfer, the man costs you vital games.

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

          Chelsea is no better than Spurs - score shows it.

  11. Nerdlinger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Resisted Kane to Haaland and honestly feeling very lucky! Kane does that tho

  12. RICICLE
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    It will be kept as a Kane goal because they’re jokers and it’s their golden boy

    1. Mr Arsenal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Yep.

      Was going wide. But they won’t show the angle not to upset him.

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

        For sure, as always

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

    Kane claiming the goal in interview

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

      Did he swear on his mother's life this time?

  14. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Bench one:

    A) Dasilva (ful)
    B) Mount (lee)
    C) Neco (eve)

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

      C

  15. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Did Conte have a hander buzzer on for the handshake?

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

      He had some slime in his hand

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

      False hand it came off

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

    This is England captain Harold Kane, they won't take the goal off him

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

      We need him happy up till the world cup

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      That’s why he is in the premium price bracket

    3. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      thats the hope

  17. Smoky Johnson
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Chances City keep a clean sheet away to Newcastle?

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

      80%

    2. jack88
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Very

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

      Pretty high.

    4. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Pretty darn good

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

    Pretty high I'd say, don't think Newcastle have much firepower. Can see it being cagey

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

      Just get it out ya system before going in to work tommorow

  19. adstomko
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Not sure who is more embarrassing: FPL towers or Anthony Taylor.

    Clear Reece James own goal.

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

      Ref had a good game, bitter

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

      Kane header looked on target to me

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

        And just slight contact

  20. Ibra
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Tripper to:

    A) Walker
    B) Perisic

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Perisic

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

      I'm looking at moving Perisic to Walker for what it's worth

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

      The one who plays games

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

      Walker. Might catch a price rise too

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

      Perisic

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

    Crazy?

    Archer, Mount, Trippier to Toney, Martinelli, Dunk (-4)?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      I would keep mount

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

        🙂 troll?

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

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

    Swap Bailey for Someone & hold mount?

  23. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Do we think Perisic now starts next week?

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

      Decent chance

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

      Sessegnon was not the problem today

  24. OptimusBlack
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Its not an Own goal WTF

  25. Liam2022
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Subbed Kane out for Haaland and James out for walker for -4 big L for me

  26. @persecuted_by_mods
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Tuchel learnt that handshake trick from Donald Trump, power move

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

      Did he grab him by the kitty?

  27. EL tridente
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    If you own both Kane and Haaland, would you sell one of them to upgrade Neto or Bailey?

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

      Both terrible value

    2. Wings Fan
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      This is my dilemma. Will wait to see what Darwin does tomorrow but certainly wouldn’t get rid of Haaland. Kane is probably for the chop irrespective of the late points

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      I would swap Kane and Neto for Darwin and Kulu tbh.

  28. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Souness - “it’s a man’s game”

    With a former England woman player sat next to him.

    I think he may be retired at the end of the year.

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

      Hahahahaha what a plonker

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 8 days ago

      That was shocking and there's only one person to blame... PAUL POGBA

    3. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Lol yeah saw that too. What an embarrassment that guy is

    4. Wings Fan
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Men’s football is a man’s game. Yes, it’s an archaic way of telling them to toughen up but we all know what he means.

      1. POGON 1948
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 days ago

        yeah that's how I understood it as well. Obviously ridiculously bad wording by a man who's paid to... say words, but still, I get his point.

    5. Bobby Crush
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 days ago

      a metaphor

  29. POGON 1948
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Richarlison absolutely denied by Kane in the celebrations, man tossed him aside like a one night stand

  30. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Classic PL match, amazing game to watch.

    People on here: Why isn't that a James OG??!!? If that's not given, the integrity is at stake !!11!

    Jeez

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

      Ball was already on target so not an OG

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

        What?

      2. yousunkmybattleship
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        4 years, 8 days ago

        Yep

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

      No one can say definitively either way, we haven't seen any angles which confirm anything. It was very close, the deflection was small, might have hit the post, might have gone in without it.
