Squad sheets: Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea

These rivals must wrest their attention from the pursuit of Champions League places and focus on a more immediate route to silverware. The hope is that this will prove a more enticing encounter than the teams' recent goalless stalemate at Stamford Bridge, a match Tottenham Hotspur finished the stronger, and Roberto Di Matteo will be conscious of the weariness that has been creeping into his squad over recent weeks. His selection will be intriguing with Barcelona to be confronted in midweek. Spurs have injury concerns in central defence and will be fretting about recent form, but the hope is the adrenalin rush of a derby will ignite the occasion. Something will have to give.
