Postecoglou makes two changes from the 2-1 win at Crystal Palace last time out as Johnson is preferred to Richarlison on the left wing while Udogie returns from injury for Ben Davies, who is missing from the squad altogether with an ankle knock. Manor Solomon and Ivan Perisic are both long-term absentees with knee injuries, and while Ryan Sessegnon is expected back in November, this game comes too soon for him.

Mauricio Pochettino used to be a hero for Spurs fans, leading their team to the Champions League final in the 2018-19 season, but he returns to his former club here as head coach of rivals Chelsea and could be in for a warm reception from the home crowd. His new charges are underperforming in the league table, currently 13th, though an upset win here would take them back into the top half.

It has been an incredible start to life under Ange Postecoglou for Spurs, with this weekend's results meaning they remain the only Premier League side yet to lose a game this season. That will be put to the test here in a London derby against a fierce rival, but they know a win will take them back to the Premier League summit and give them a two-point lead over reigning champions Manchester City.
