The players make their way out here at Stamford Bridge!
PRVW
The pre-match warm-ups of both sides are complete and we're closing in on kick-off.
PRVW
Enzo Maresca made four changes from the defeat to Arsenal. Malo Gusto, Chalobah, Palmer and Nico Jackson come in for Fofana, Badiashile, Reece James and Nkunku.

Tottenham starting XI: Vicario (GK); Spence, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie; Bergvall, Bentancur, Maddison; Odobert, Solanke, Son.
Referee: Craig Pawson.
VAR: Jarred Gillett.
Fourth official: Robert Jones.
PRVW
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Vicario (GK); Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Sarr, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Son.
PRVW
Chelsea possible starting lineup: Sanchez (GK); James, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Neto, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson.
PRVW
Let's get things warmed up with some possible line-ups for the clash!!
PRVW
Spurs captain Son Heung-min has started as a substitute in each of the last three Premier League games, but the South Korean could start on the left flank, while Maddison, Sarr and Odobert will also push for places in the XI.
PRVW
For Tottenham, Dragusin, Kulusevski, Danso and Richarlison remain out through injury. Postecoglou has confirmed that Bergvall is fit to play after recovering from an illness that forced him to withdraw from the Sweden squad during the international break.
PRVW
Reece James played in midfield against Arsenal but could return to right-back with Fofana potentially moved to the heart of defence alongside Levi Colwill. In goal Maresca will have to decide whether to stick with Robert Sanchez, who has started three of Chelsea's last four games in all competitions, or Filip Jorgensen.
PRVW
The return of Palmer and Jackson could see Pedro Neto move to the right flank, while Sancho and Nkunku could battle for a starting spot on the left side of attack.
PRVW
Chelsea trio Mudryk, Marc Guiu and Kellyman remain unavailable for selection, and Romeo Lavia again with problems has emerged as a doubt, but Maresca has confirmed that Cole Palmer , Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke are all in contention to face today's game.
PRVW
Let's take a look at the absentees from each side!
PRVW
On the other side are Spurs who are having a poor season and find themselves in 14th place below Man Utd. Postecoglou's side are still in time to react but they do not look likely to reach the European places this season.
PRVW
After Wednesday's win over Manchester City, Maresca's side are determined to keep their grip on the top four and will be going all out to take all three points in front of their fans.
PRVW
The rivalry between Chelsea and Tottenham has been growing in recent years, especially after the Battle of the Bridge almost a decade ago!
PRVW
HUGE London derby on Thursday night! The two teams last met almost four months ago in a 3-4 win for Maresca's side at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
