Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Joao Pedro are available for Saturday's Premier League clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (5.30pm).

Forward Pedro didn't feature in the midweek win at Wolves in the Carabao Cup, while midfielders Fernandez and Caicedo both appeared off the bench in the second half.

"The reason why Joao didn’t play against Wolves is that we tried to protect him," Maresca told Chelsea's official website. "It was the same thing with Moi and with Enzo, just giving them some minutes. The idea is to protect these players."

Cole Palmer, out since September, remains sidelined with a groin issue. Levi Colwill, Benoit Badiashile and Dario Essugo are also sidelined due to injury. Liam Delap is suspended after being sent off at Molineux.
