Sports Mole looks at how Tottenham Hotspur could line up against Chelsea in the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur will be boosted by the return of Eric Dier to their back three for Sunday's Premier League clash with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Dier missed both legs of his side's EFL Cup semi-final with Chelsea, in addition to Wednesday's 3-2 win over Leicester City in the Premier League, but he will be back in the side this weekend.

Son Heung-min and Cristian Romero are making excellent progress in their injury recoveries, meanwhile, but the pair will be absent until after the winter break.

Head coach Antonio Conte has admitted that his side have a couple of "fresh injuries" but has not named those impacted, so it is unclear whether any of the potential starters here are doubts.

Steven Bergwijn could again miss out on a spot in the XI despite his brace against the Foxes, with Lucas Moura expected to feature alongside Harry Kane in a front two.

There are not likely to be any surprises in terms of the away side's formation, meanwhile, with Harry Winks and Oliver Skipp both in line to feature in a five-man midfield.

Dier should take Japhet Tanganga's position in the back three, while Emerson Royal will be available for selection despite being withdrawn at the interval against Leicester last time out.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Lloris; Sanchez, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Skipp, Winks, Hojbjerg, Reguilon; Kane, Lucas
