Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea are in the midst of an intense fight to qualify for European competition next season. The Blues are currently sat fourth, eight points shy of third place and with Manchester City close behind, just one point the difference.
Thursday night marks the start of a critical run with minimal room for error. A loss could see Chelsea slip as low as seventh, though they will be bolstered by the returns of Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson, and Noni Madueke. All three were injured before the international break, though Maresca has now confirmed the trio are available for selection on Thursday as he looks to revitalise his struggling forward line.
Tottenham coach Ange Postecoglou has not had the same luck. He is still without Dejan Kulusevski, arguably his most reliable performer this season, with Radu Dragusin, Kevin Danso, and Richarlison all set to miss out as well. A win for Spurs would see Tottenham usurp Manchester United and move into 13th.
