THOMAS Tuchel has named his side for Chelsea's London derby match against Tottenham Hotspur.
Malang Sarr stepped in for Marcos Alonso at left-back in a Chelsea back four for the Premier League clash against Tottenham at Stamford Bridge.
Mateo Kovacic started ahead of N’Golo Kante in the only other change from Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at Brighton.
Full line up: Kepa, Azpilixueta, Silva, Rudiger, Sarr, Kovacic, Jorginho, Ziyech, Hudson-Odoi, Mount, Lukaku.
Tottenham looked to be lining up in a 4-4-2 formation, with Eric Dier stepping into the defence and Ryan Sessegnon likely on the wing.
Dele Alli, Giovani Lo Celso and Tanguy Ndombele were all omitted from the Tottenham squad despite being fit and available.
