Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur confirm their starting lineups for Thursday's Premier League game at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed their starting lineups for Thursday's Premier League game at Stamford Bridge.

With Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson having all been passed fit after injury, Enzo Maresca had several decisions to make ahead of this London derby.

The Italian has opted to hand starts to each of Palmer and Jackson, with Madueke being named on the substitutes' bench.

Reece James and Christopher Nkunku are the players to drop out to accommodate the pair, while there is also a change at right-back with Malo Gusto replacing Wesley Fofana.

Trevoh Chalobah has also been preferred to Benoit Badiashile, but, as expected, there is no place among the replacements for Romeo Lavia who picked up an injury earlier this week.

Spurs make five changes

Meanwhile, Ange Postecoglou has opted to make as many as five alterations to the Spurs XI that started the defeat to Fulham before the international break.

Micky van de Ven and Son Heung-min are notable starters in defence and attack respectively, Ben Davies and Mathys Tel the duo to drop out.

Wilson Odobert also comes into the final third, taking the spot of Brennan Johnson on the right flank, while Lucas Bergvall and James Maddison also feature in what is an offensive-minded XI.

Archie Gray and Yves Bissouma are the other two players to miss out on a place in the starting lineup.

Chelsea XI: Sanchez; Gusto, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Neto, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson

Subs: Jorgensen, Acheampong, Badiashile, Adarabioyo, James, Dewsbury-Hall, George, Madueke, Nkunku

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Vicario; Spence, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bergvall, Bentancur, Maddison; Odobert, Solanke, Son

Subs: Kinsky, Pedro Porro, Davies, Gray, Bissouma, Sarr, Moore, Johnson, Tel
