Chelsea vs Tottenham team news
Ben Chilwell, Reece James, Emerson, Jorginho and Mason Mount have returned to training this week following their involvement in the Euro 2020 final, while Andreas Christensen, Thiago Silva, Ethan Ampadu and Cesar Azpilicueta will also be hoping for their first run-outs of pre-season.

Harry Kane’s status is up in the air after he reportedly failed to return to training as he seeks a move away, although Giovani Lo Celso and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg could be available after rejoining the squad.
Chelsea vs Tottenham preview
Although they may have got a couple of wins under their belts without Kane this summer, his continued absence has started to cast a dark cloud over Spurs’ pre-season preparations.
It is certainly not an ideal backdrop for this high-profile warm-up clash against their local rivals, who come into the game in high spirits after lifting the Champions League last season and with all the talk of big incoming transfers rather than outgoing.
Even without any arrivals, Thomas Tuchel’s almost full-strength squad should have enough quality to overcome a weakened Tottenham – particularly given their victory over Arsenal just days ago without many first-team players.
Chelsea vs Tottenham tips & predictions
Indeed, those 7/10 (1.70) odds seem like solid value on the hosts heading into their upcoming European Super League clash on the back of a third successive pre-season win.
