Chelsea vs Tottenham LIVE: Premier League team news, lineups and more today

chelsea promised to offer Graham Potter Any support the manager needs after threatening emails were sent to him and his family.

Potter said he was targeted by an anonymous account following the team’s recent poor form, which continued with a 1-0 home loss to Southampton last Saturday.

Later, some fans behind the bunker at Stamford Bridge urged the manager to go, as the atmosphere became increasingly hostile as the game progressed. Personal attacks on social media have also increased following the Saints’ loss, but these have now escalated to threats sent directly to him.

Potter, who previously said he believed he had the hardest job in football, was nevertheless visibly optimistic ahead of his team’s trip to Tottenham on Sunday, and joked that he was late because he was in a “crisis meeting” with the club’s owners. .

These are two teams that are unpredictable at the moment but Tottenham seem to be a little less turbulent so they could pass this competition well.

Tottenham XI: Forster; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Emerson, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Davies; Kulusevsky, Kane, Son

Chelsea’s 11: Kepa; James, Silva, Badiashile, Chilwell; Kovacic, Fernandez; Mudryk, Felix, Sterling; Havertz

Spurs players such as Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma, Hugo Lloris and Ryan Sessegnon are injured, while Oliver Skipp is likely to partner with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the midfield.

Ben Davies could continue at left-back and Son Heung-min could replace Richarlison.

Cesar Azpilicueta’s severe head injury against Southampton has kept him at bay, while Armando Broja, Christian Pulisic and Edouard Mendy are absent. N’Golo Kante is back in team training, though he’s probably not fit enough to play yet.

Thiago Silva and Reece James should start on the defensive as Mykhaylo Mudryk, Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz push to start on offense.

The match will kick off at 13:30 GMT on Sunday, February 26. It will be shown live in the Sky Sports Main Event and the Sky Sports Premier League.

Good afternoon and welcome to the live stream of Tottenham v Chelsea in the Premier League where Graham Potter’s team is desperate for a win in today’s London derby.

Chelsea have won just twice in their last 14 Premier League games, facing a pathetic flow of form that has bottomed out even more after their 1-0 home loss to Southampton last weekend, and a Spurs team soaring with their win over West Ham last time. . The result has moved Tottenham into the top four and Antonio Conte’s team could tighten their hold on fourth place by another three points this afternoon, but the Italian will once again be missing from the edge.

Chelsea’s hopes in the first four are weak and defeat will certainly close the door completely. It would also increase the pressure on Potter’s position. Chelsea’s manager revealed on Friday that he and his family have faced death threats due to his poor health, but the defeat at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be another test of the club’s patience.
