Spurs will no doubt be boosted with the return of several of their wide players who might be able to give the Chelsea defence some problems later in the game.
Danny Rose is fit again after a toe injury and could slot into anywhere down the left flank meanwhile Aaron Lennon will face a late fitness test to see whether he will be able to return after recovering from a foot injury.
Despite their returns, Andre Vilas-Boas will still be without a couple of their defensive options with Etienne Capoue still out with an ankle injury and Younes Kaboul is a major doubt as he continues to recover from a torn abductor muscle.
For Chelsea, the aim is to continue moving their way back into the upper echelons of the table after a slow start left them 3 points behind league leaders Arsenal and sitting 4th in the table.
One major setback that Chelsea is going to have deal with is the loss of Marco van Ginkel who is set to be out of action for until at least March.
The Dutchman tore his anterior cruciate knee ligament earlier this week and it will certainly prevent one of Mourinho’s biggest summer signings from making a significant impact during his debut season.
Mourinho’s other main injury concern will be around midfielder Ramires who faces a late fitness test after picking up a hip injury during the Capital One Cup win over Swindon on Tuesday evening.
Aside from that, Chelsea will be able to take a full squad for the trip across the capital where new signing Willian could start against the side that almost brought him to England before a change of heart at the eleventh hour.
With both sides evenly matched in terms of both star quality and season expectations, it is anyone’s guess as to who will emerge triumphant at the final whistle.
