The Blues are still the only team unbeaten across all competitions but the pressure will be on them to come away with three points when they make the trip to the Wembley to face an in-form Tottenham side.

Team News

Mateo Kovacic is slightly doubtful to feature in the starting eleven on Saturday due to a muscular injury while Marco van Ginkel and Ethan Ampadu are ruled out with injuries. Maurizio Sarri is not expected to make too many changes to the team that drew against Fulham in the last outing.

Formation: 4-3-3

Manager: Maurizio Sarri

1. Kepa Arrizabalaga (GK)

The Spaniard has kept six clean sheets in the Premier League so far and will need to be at the top of his game on Saturday.

2. Cesar Azpilicueta (RB)

The veteran has barely put a foot wrong this season and has always been solid at the back.

3. Antonio Rudiger (CB)

The German international has been one of the standout performers for the Blues this season and will have his work cut out against Harry Kane.

4. David Luiz (CB)

He has established a solid partnership in the heart of Chelsea’s defence alongside Rudiger and Sarri should continue to rely on him.

5. Marcos Alonso (LB)

He showed in the previous game against Everton why he is one of the best attacking full-backs in the world and Sarri needs him to come up with a quality end product on Saturday.

6. Jorginho (CDM)

His flawless passing, immaculate distribution and game-reading ability are invaluable assets to the Blues in the midfield.

7. N’Golo Kante (RCM)

The Frenchman continues to be one of the pivots of Chelsea’s midfield and has shown strong signs of promise in his new attacking role this season.

8. Ross Barkley (LCM)

The English international has been in terrific form in recent weeks and his ability to chip in with valuable strikes can prove to be handy for the Blues.

9. Eden Hazard (LW)

He is Chelsea’s indispensable weapon in the final third and Sarri will be looking up to him to propel the team to a victory over Spurs.

10. Willian (RW)

The Brazilian has raised his game in recent weeks and Sarri should hand him a start ahead of Pedro.

11. Olivier Giroud (ST)

Morata struggled in the last game against Everton and is likely to be outmuscled by Davinson Sanchez and Toby Alderweireld on Saturday, which should prompt Sarri to field the Frenchman in the starting line up.

Michael Edwards, our sporting director, is in Paris to complete the talks before Fekir travels with the France squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. We have also kept a medical team on standby just in case we can finalise the signing in France. Fekir would be our 3rd signing of the summer, considering that Keita and Fabinho have already been signed. Confirmation of signing from other outlets too Twitter also saw a couple of renowned Liverpool experts agree to the fact that the deal will be done soon or is done already.

It’s time to let Biafra people go

The current antics of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the self-proclaimed leader of the illusory Biafra Republic, brings to mind an often quoted remark by Karl Marx, who pointed out in reference to the 9th November 1799 coup d’etat by Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte in France: A woman holds a Biafran flag during a service at the St. Martin Catholic of Tours Church on May 28, 2017 in the Aba-South district in Aba. The Nigerian civil war’s 50th anniversary will be commemorated on May 30. The war was triggered when the Igbo people, the main ethnic group in the southeast, declared an independent breakaway state, the Republic of Biafra. / AFP PHOTO “History often repeats itself, the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce…” As if to illustrate this thought-provoking adage afresh, post-colonial Nigerian history, which first produced the immense tragedy of Biafra with its horrible litany of death and widespread destruction, is now going on to provide the world with a new version of Biafra that is being...
