Fernandez won the penalty that levelled this game, but now makes way for Mudryk. His pace could prove a real asset in the latter stages with Spurs' depleted numbers.

WHAT A MISS! A free-kick routine sees James put down the right. The right-back digs a cross out, and Jackson is waiting in the middle only a couple of yards out. It seems he cannot miss, but his header down into the ground gives Hojbjerg a chance and the substitute manages to hook it over the bar.

It has been quite the meltdown from Spurs, who seemed to be in complete control at 1-0 up, but a combination of bad luck and ill-discipline mean they may have a job on their hands just to come away with a draw. After such a frantic first half, surely the pace has to slow a little after the interval, and that will suit the hosts and their 10 men. Chelsea, on the other hand, will look to stretch the pitch and take advantage late in proceedings.
