Kane aiming to extend eight-game run without a blank as Rodon starts in defence

Perhaps the most eagerly anticipated fixture of the weekend sees Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur clash at Stamford Bridge.

Kick-off in west London is at 16:30 GMT.

There are no real surprises in terms of team news, with both managers making just one change apiece from the sides they sent out in Gameweek 9.

Frank Lampard’s sole alteration was widely anticipated, with Thiago Silva (£5.5m) replacing Antonio Rudiger (£4.5m) at the heart of the Blues’ defence.

The fit-again Christian Pulisic (£8.2m) is back among the substitutes, alongside Kai Havertz (£8.3m).

Jose Mourinho’s only tweak to his line-up was an enforced one and also comes at centre-half, with Toby Alderweireld (£5.4m) ruled out with a groin problem.

Premier League rookie Joe Rodon (£5.0m) gets the nod over Davinson Sanchez (£5.3m) to partner Eric Dier (£4.9m).

There is plenty of interest in this one from a Fantasy Premier League perspective, with Harry Kane (£10.9m) and Son Heung-min (£9.5m) the second and third most-owned players in the game.

Five of Chelsea’s starting XI, including three of their back four, also boast double-digit ownerships, with Ben Chilwell (£6.1m) the most popular option among that quintet.

Kane was, in fact, the most-sold forward of Gameweek 10, with just over 200,000 Fantasy managers offloading the England international despite his impressive run of form: not since the opening weekend has the Spurs striker blanked.

Chelsea XI: Mendy, James, Zouma, Thiago Silva, Chilwell, Kante, Kovacic, Mount, Ziyech, Abraham, Werner.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Aurier, Rodon, Dier, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele, Bergwijn, Son, Kane.

    Probably a yellow, did look like he held him back and lightly hit his face. Would be nice to have incompetent refereeing go my way though.

    Is there something with Telles?

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      OGS didn't mention anything post game. So it was most likely to rest him.

    2. Duke Silver ☑

      Looked like a possible groin strain. Maybe subbed as a precaution.

    To be honest, what I'm getting from this game is that Reguillon looks a very nice pick, whenever spurs fixtures go back to good

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Spurs defense has greatly improved for sure.

  4. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Tammy has balanced out his first good half display already.

  5. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Ziyech needs to attack the box more and be more direct

  6. seanie3
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    what is the ref on about..

  7. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Who's a better option next week? Ziyech or Mahrez with a -4

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I will be removing for Salah in Gw12 so only for next week

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Taking a -4 hit to bring someone in for 1 week is just bad and makes no sense.

    2. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      cavani at that price range.

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Hmm doesn't help

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Wait until you see who plays mid week for Man City.

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yes i will do that but i expect mahrez will start after a hattrick

  8. 272MK
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    If Chilwell gets yellow card it'll complete all my trio Chelsea yellow cards collections

    Frank isn’t fat. This cyber bullying is too toxic

  10. NULL-X-VOID

    Oh who the hell is this ref

  11. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Bring Kane and Son on FFS

  12. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Don't Kane and Son know everyone's sold them in FPL. What are they up to? Get your goals already.

  13. OverTinker

    Come on James pick another one and make this game interesting

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years

    RIP Papa Bouba Diop. Sadly passed away at the young age of 42.

    1. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Ohhh RIP - very sad

  15. Flair

    3 years, 5 months ago

    Man, this is the Spurs I expected at the start of the season for clean sheets. Shame it took some growing pains but they look, defensively, like a proper Jose team now.

  16. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Who will get sent off first?

  17. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Why’s Frank got Mount in corners?

    1. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Lol

  18. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Why is Mount on corners? Lampard should know better.

  19. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Chilwell has turned into a superhero since my rival got him

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

      Dont know why you haven't already joined the dark side 😉

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He's returned every single game he's played before this match??

      Surely you're just ignoring a good FPL player.

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

        Don't I just know it! Rival brought him in for palace! I presumed he couldn't keep it up and have a stronger attack than my rival because of my cheaper defenders but he's already nearly 100 points ahead of me!

    If kane scored from a son assist I will give you all a flying kiss

    Chilwell must be one of the only fullbacks in the league that gets into the box for corners. Most of the time they are the only ones back while the CBs go up.

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

      Yeah, and he takes corners from the left side. Many great assets

    2. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Ayling

  22. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years

    both teams quite strong defensively

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Might need to bench Bamford.

        People who are too dumb to read and write sarcasm made it up. Theres loads of them on here so Im not surprised

      2. JONALDINHO
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Just to get across the sarcasm as many don’t seem to cop it

  24. Right In The Stanchion
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    This match is fixed on 0-0. José and Lampard should be investigated

  25. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Just 30 more minutes, HOLD James and Chilwell!

    1. The Neville Wears Prada
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      And 1750 pounds

  26. have you seen cyan

    2. JBG

    3. el polako
      • 6 Years

      Need Sissoko and Kante goals badly.

  27. seanie3

  28. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Ideally - James subbed off due to the YC
    Son goal

  29. Chenku╰☆╮

    If you want a nice flying kiss from me kane pls score a goal now

    Kate is just absolutely everywhere, so underrated. Pops up in defence, further forward pressing the next

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
