Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur continue their preparations for the new Premier League season as the two London clubs meet in Sydney.
In the wake of the World Cup, both Xabi Alonso and Roberto De Zerbi are using their preseason tour to look at the depth of two growing squads, with Chelsea continuing to pursue a number of transfer targets and Spurs significantly strengthened already this summer.
This game will offer another opportunity to get minutes in the legs with just a few weeks to go until the campaign proper starts.
Each has already achieved a win over local opposition and another good crowd is likely as Australia-based fans enjoy a rare chance to see their team in person.
Here’s everything you need to know.
When is Chelsea vs Tottenham?
Chelsea vs Tottenham is due to kick off at 10.45am BST on Saturday 1 August at the Accor Stadium in Sydney.
How can I watch it?
A live stream will be available to subscribers to CFC+ or SPURSPLAY, the club’s respective in-house streaming homes.
Team news
Xabi Alonso was pleased to get through a 10-goal game against Western Sydney Wanderers with no fresh injury concerns, and may be able to utilise Romeo Lavia, who missed that game with a hamstring niggle. Maxence Lacroix may have to wait for a first outing at his new club.
Mateus Fernandes will miss out again for Tottenham as a cautious approach is taken with a calf complaint. Roberto De Zerbi is likely to rotate, while Kevin Danso, Micky Van de Ven and Jan Paul van Hecke could have some involvement after their World Cup exertions.
