Kieran Trippier has recovered from an ankle injury in time to start for Tottenham against Chelsea.
Spurs face last season’s champions in the first ever Premier League game to be played at Wembley.
It looks like Mauricio Pochettino has opted for a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Ben Davies and the returning Trippier in the wing-back positions.
A back three of Eric Dier, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen will sit in front of captain Hugo Lloris in goal.
Victor Wanyama makes his first start of the season in central midfield next to Victor Wanyama.
Lone striker Harry Kane is supported by Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen in attack.
Kyle Walker-Peters and Moussa Sissoko are the unlucky individuals to lose their places in the side. They’re both on the bench, as are Michel Vorm, Kevin Wimmer, Harry Winks, Heung-Min Son and Vincent Janssen.
There’s no place in the Chelsea squad for Eden Hazard despite rumours he could return from injury early.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to all the team news.

Absolutely gutted for KWP. Think this must be a back three, else the team doesn’t make much sense. #COYS https://t.co/vbYlWyc2Qo

Looks like it might be a 4-3-3 today, although could be a 3-5-1-1. Either way, what a team!

Not as scary a bench for Chelsea as last year when Hazard and Costa came on to change the game. Willian the biggest threat in their side

#thfc Trippier’s return is good news for Kane – he really thrives on those early crosses (see his goal v Juventus here a fortnight ago).

Am I the only one that didn’t know Trippier was fit until about 20 minutes ago?

Must admit I feel a bit sorry for @KyleLPeters MotM and then dropped. But it’s a big game and Trippier has the experience. #COYS

We need to get the ball to Trippier and just let him cross it every time, we can expose this team
