Here is the Tottenham Hotspur team that Thomas Frank has picked to take on Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday evening

Thomas Frank has made four changes to his Tottenham team as they welcome Chelsea on Saturday in the Premier League.

Spurs have got a trio of players back from their long injury list with Frank getting captain Cristian Romero, left-back Destiny Udogie and winger Wilson Odobert back in contention for the derby, with all three on the bench. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario returns between the sticks after needing some treatment in midweek and both Micky van de Ven and Mohammed Kudus are back the starting line-up after being rested in the Carabao Cup defeat at Newcastle United.

Randal Kolo Muani makes his second consecutive Premier League start up front with Richarlison on the bench, while Lucas Bergvall and Pape Matar Sarr keep their places in the midfield. With the number of central midfielders involved, it could be a back three with Joao Palhinha once again in defence or a diamond in the centre of the pitch with two forwards up top.

Xavi Simons is on the bench against the team he was linked with for much of the summer before joining Tottenham.
