Here's the Tottenham Hotspur team that Roberto De Zerbi has selected to face Premier League rivals Chelsea in Sydney on Saturday
Roberto De Zerbi has chosen his Tottenham starting XI to take on Chelsea in the Sydney Super Cup during both team's pre-season tour Down Under.
It is the first time the Lilywhites and the Blues have played each other outside the UK and De Zerbi has chosen stronger side to take on Xabi Alonso's men at the Accor Stadium. Spurs are unbeaten so far in pre-season, having beaten MK Dons and Auckland 1-0 and 2-0 respectively before overcoming Sydney FC on penalties on Wednesday after a 1-1 draw.
This London derby on the other side of the world will be played out in front of at least 80,000 fans in the Australian city. With just two recovery days since the win against Sydney FC, De Zerbi has rotated his pack again, while being careful with some of his World Cup returnees as well as those stars who had long-term injuries last season.
As De Zerbi said, Mateus Fernandes remains out with his fatigued calf, James Maddison has a small problem and Micky van de Ven spent much of Friday's training session on an exercise bike and is yet to make his pre-season bow.

It is Antonin Kinksy's turn to play for the full 90 minutes after Brandon Austin and Martin Dubravka got the full stints against Auckland and Sydney FC. Dominic Solanke gets his first minutes on the tour as does summer signing Jan Paul van Hecke while Archie Gray is at right-back and captains the side again.
So we're predicting the young side in red to start the game against the Blues before the other XI come on at points during the game.
