Team News
Chelsea
Tottenham
- Romelu Lukaku will be brought back into the squad in midweek after being dropped at the weekend following positive clear-the-air talks with Thomas Tuchel on Monday.
- Timo Werner is doing much better are struggling with COVID but will only make the bench at best here.
- Andreas Christensen is still a doubt with a back injury, while Ben Chilwell and Reece James continue to miss out.
- Trevoh Chalobah limped off in Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Liverpool on Sunday and has been ruled out here.
- Tuchel went with youth in the last round of the Carabao Cup but will turn to more experience here now they've reached the last four.
- Callum Hudson-Odoi and Christian Pulisic are options at right wing-back, though Cesar Azpilicueta may move out there with Malang Sarr starting. Saul Niguez may also be required at left wing-back to rest Marcos Alonso.
- Jorginho was benched against Liverpool and will push for a recall here, though Mateo Kovacic and N'Golo Kante were outstanding at the weekend and Tuchel will be tempted to go with the pair again here.
- Edouard Mendy left for AFCON after Sunday's game so Kepa will take over in goal for the rest of the month. Hakim Ziyech wasn't included in the Morocco squad.
- Antonio Conte has no further injury concerns to worry about, with Cristian Romero, Ryan Sessegnon and Steven Bergwijn all ruled out.
- Conte may make changes to his XI here, with the likes of Matt Doherty, Japhet Tanganga and Harry Winks all starting.
- Bryan Gil is also pushing for a start having featured from the bench in each of Tottenham's last three games.
Check correct stats please @whoscored.com
Is it 19 or 20 shots for chelsea and how many on target @whoscored.com?
Konte fraud exposed
@GioMonaldo - It's a good thing you aren't overreacting to one match and yours is a well-thought out and argued analysis of his career.
@andrew7taylor it's even better that you miss a very obvious joke.
Whixh is it, 20 or 19 shots for chelsea ? It says here both, i would like to know? And how many on target ?
This was Chelsea's easiest game in the tournament so far. I rest my case.
The Totem Poles are being outplayed
I HAVE EXAM.
Tuchel playing on 4-2-3-1 :O
@MrNemobody it's a cross between a 3-5-2 and a 4-3-3
Too easy
Both teams to score 1.85
BTTS
1-0. It must be tight game.
@lyova0 sheesh
Draw
______________M A T C H - D R A W
Pulisic is messiah
Under Conte Tottenham have significantly improved their performances as testified by XG stats and the eye ball test of actually watching them. However, Kane and arguably Son are still relatively out of form and Højbjerg looks in need of a rest. Moreover, Tottenham do not have great recent at Chelsea. Chelsea 2-1 Tottenham
BTTS @1.97
To see what is happening in football nowadays I think Tottenham have chance to win the match somehow .
easy draw
1-2
@Krampusz Hahaha
Both to score and boring X. Under 3.5 goals.
Will not play: Lukaku, Mendy, Werner, James, Christensen. Questionable: Chalobah, Loftus-Cheek.
@ICE777 Lukaku will play
Even with home advantage, this won’t be a walk in the park for the ‘Blues’ as three of their last six League Cup home games needed a penalty-shootout to settle affairs.
@ICE777 was a walk in the park lol
Over 2.5 match goals.
Home win no pens
@eastend1 the semi finals are still two legs so if you meant that there will be no pens at the end to decide the finalist then you are correct.
@MEHJones yes, Chelsea to establish a lead that spurs can’t sustain over both games.
@eastend1 Haha.. nice "comeback".
@nikoanzai next leg is a dead rubber ie not required
