Spurs must shake off Euro blues at Chelsea

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR may be licking their wounds after crashing out of the Champions League but they must quickly re-focus as they return to Premier League action tomorrow at leaders Chelsea in their third straight London derby.

Tomorrow, fifth-placed Spurs are likely to start with defenders Kyle Walker and Jan Vertonghen, who were surprisingly rested during midweek, but they must do without the suspended Danny Rose and injured Toby Aiderweireld.

Chelsea have no injury problems after a week of recuperation and have Premier League top scorer Diego Costa showing his best form since arriving in England with 10 goals and three assists.

Manchester City, a point off the pace in third, make the short trip to Burnley.

Fourth-placed Arsenal, two points further back, entertain a Bournemouth side missing on-loan Jack Wilshere, who cannot play against his parent club.

Second-placed Liverpool, also a point off the top, face resurgent Sunderland at Anfield, a ground where the visitors have not won since 1983.

Bob Bradley’s Swansea City are without a league victory since the opening day and face a vital game against Crystal Palace, who are themselves just one point above the drop zone. – Reuters Tomorrow: Burnley v Man City; Hull v WBA; Leicester v Middlesbrough; Liverpool v Sunderland; Swansea v Palace; Chelsea v Tottenham Sunday: Watford v Stoke; Arsenal v Bournemouth; Man Utd v West Ham; Southampton v Everton
