Tottenham projected XI at Chelsea: Will Kane make surprise start?

Tottenham want to end their horrid run of form at Chelsea

The biggest question heading into Tottenham’s trip to Chelsea today is whether or not Mauricio Pochettino will trust Harry Kane to lead his line. No matter who Pochettino chooses to play up top, you can expect Spurs to come out and try to attack Antonio Conte’s troops.

Some fans might call Pochettino’s philosophy naive, but it’s a style of play that resonates with Tottenham fans around the globe. Spurs will not sit back and try to absorb the pressure at Stamford Bridge. Instead, they’ll try to take the fight to Chelsea.

The real key for Spurs will be making sure they maintain their poise in what should be an emotionally charged fixture. It’s no secret that these clubs don’t like one another. Recent fixtures between the two London sides have broken down into a series of rash challenges.

In fairness, Tottenham players have been at fault for most of those incidents. Pochettino will try to keep his players on the right side of that line between physicality and dangerous play. Here’s how the Argentine gaffer will line his squad up in this weekend’s most glamorous Premier League fixture.
