The big rivalry between two London greats – Chelsea and Tottenham – is set to take its place once again this Saturday, but which players are going to miss the derby this weekend?
According to Express, Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs will be short with solid options regarding their back-line after two big injuries of star defenders Toby Alderweireld and Ben Davies, while England international Danny Rose is suspended from the fixture.

He’s suspended for the amount of yellow cards in the league this season, but it’s good to know there won’t be any players or staff pushed into the tunnels on Saturday by him – like the last time!
After seeing how inherent Antonio Conte’s Chelsea look in the 3-4-3 system, Pochettino has also tried to make it work in his squad. However, it hasn’t turned out to be as good for them as they lost 2-1 to Monaco last night and seem to be heading out of the Champions League!
Against the Ligue 1 side, Spurs played a back-four of Kieran Trippier, Eric Dier, Kevin Wimmer and Danny Rose (probably going to be replaced by Kyle Walker for Chelsea).
And what comes to the Blues – all players are reportedly fit to play, and Conte is likely to line up the starting eleven exactly the same way as for the six previous times.
