Jose Mourinho takes on his former club Chelsea on Sunday as Tottenham look to leapfrog their rivals to claim a top four spot.

The Portuguese has sparked a reaction since replacing Mauricio Pochettino, winning five out of seven matches.

And a win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will complete a miraculous turnaround for Spurs.

That has coincided with a dreadful run for Frank Lampard’s side, who have now lost four times in five games in the Premier League.

Here is our combined XI from the two London rivals, from those available for Sunday’s game and taking form into account.

Who would make your combined XI?
