2026-2027 Premier League: Chelsea vs. Tottenham, Probable Lineups

Chelsea vs. Tottenham is a match for Matchday 8 of the Premier League, scheduled for Saturday at 6:30 p.m. Thanks to its last two wins, Xabi Alonso’s team has climbed into the top four of the standings, but it needs to maintain consistency in its results because the top spot is still 8 points away. Roberto De Zerbi’s men secured their first win just last weekend and currently sit in 16th place with 6 points: for the Spurs, this is a decisive derby, and the goal is to keep winning to get back in the race for European competition.

Chelsea is relying on the attacking trio of Palmer, Joao Pedro, and Rogers. On the wings are Pedro Neto and Hato, with Caicedo and Henderson in midfield. In defense, Acheampong partners with Lacroix and Colwill. Martinez is out in goal, making way for Penders.

De Zerbi starts Marmoush as center forward, with Kudus, Maddison, and Savio in the attacking midfield trio. In midfield are Tonali and Fernandes; the fullbacks are Pedro Porro and Udogie. Savio, Xavi Simons, and Mudryk will not be playing.
