Tottenham confirmed team vs Chelsea - Cristian Romero back and shock Micky van de Ven return

Ange Postecoglou has made four changes as Tottenham face a big London derby on Sunday afternoon against Chelsea.

Spurs followed up their big win at Manchester City with stalemates against Roma and Fulham before falling to a frustrating defeat at Bournemouth on Thursday night. Postecoglou will be looking for his players to show much more against a second-placed Chelsea side in a clash that will mean plenty to the fans.

The Tottenham boss still has Guglielmo Vicario, Richarlison, Wilson Odobert, Mikey Moore and the suspended Rodrigo Bentancur all out with Ben Davies added to that list after picking up a hamstring injury in the second half at Bournemouth.

Cristian Romero is back from a toe injury and there is a surprise return for Micky van de Ven from his hamstring injury as the two line up together. Elsewhere in the team, Postecoglou has put James Maddison on the bench with Dejan Kulusevksi stepping back into midfield.

Here's the Tottenham team the Australian has selected to face Enzo Maresca's side.

Forster; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma, Kulusevski; Johnson, Solanke, Son. Subs: Austin, Spence, Reguilon, Dragusin, Gray, Bergvall, Maddison, Werner, Lankshear.
