Chelsea has only won 3 points out of 15 in the last 5 games. They will be determined to win and that I don't like!

Chelsky appear to have set up expecting a blitzkrieg akin to the Burnley game.
They have far more attacking options on the bench, so Spurs IMHO must
have the game done and dusted by 65 mins to avoid repeats of the Spanner/
Bournemouth final 20 mins.

I thought this too. Frank has set them up to contain. I think given how untested new signings are and recent injuries, this is still the strongest possible line-up. Tanguy on the bench is a massive positive. Him coming on with 20 to go will up our energy levels massively. Front 4 need to be on their games today as the midfield lacks creativity. COYS

Nor me but it has a certain logic. Aurier and Sissoko make an effective right back between them and that leaves Dier holding the midfield by himself and he is better than Winks or Ndombele at that. Creativity is zero outside the front four though.

The worry is a repeat of the Man Utd game, where Aurier decides he's a winger, Lucas decides he can't be bothered with this "defending" lark so Sissoko ends up playing both their roles - leaving a gap in midfield the Queen Mary could steam through
 
As predicted., Williams is going to run rings around Aurier today.

We got no midfield to speak of... going to result in long balls to give us any sort of a chance against these.
 
Mourinho set Spurs up in a way that things would be tight and Chelsea would have more possession, Aurier’s brainfart has completely ruined that plan.
