CHE vs TOT Dream11: Chelsea takes on Tottenham Hotspur in their third official friendly of the season.

This game will follow a UEFA Super Cup clash against Villareal before the Premier League season kicks off.
CHE vs TOT Dream11 Team Prediction
Tottenham Hotspur has a new man in charge in Nuno Espirito Santo. He was previously managing Wolverhampton Wanderers. Dark clouds are hanging over Spurs as the future of their talisman Harry Kane is uncertain. They have two wins and draw in their last three games against lower league opposition.

Thomas Tuchel would like the 100% pre-season record to continue. The game might provide a last chance to some youngsters to prove their worth.
First choice goalkeeper E Mendy should be starting at goal, while K Zouma, M Sarr, A Rudiger are likely to be the back three. N Kante and R Barkley could partner in central midfield. C Pulisic and C Hudson-Odoi could play in the full-back positions. H Ziyech and K Havertz could line up behind T Werner in the attack.
Chelsea Starting XI (Likely)

Tottenham Hotspur News
Injury Report and Unavailability: Ryan Sessegnon is not fully fit. Harry Kane should sit this one out as he has not reported in training yet. There are no other injury concerns.
Expected Changes and Strategy: H Lloris should be starting at goal, while M Doherty, J Tanganga, C Carter-Vickers, S Reguilón are expected to start in defence. H Winks, T Ndombele, and D Alli could feature in the midfield region. H Son Should start up front flanked by S Bergwijn and L Moura.

Captain Options
Son Heung-Min will be operating centrally and is the standout captain pick in this fixture. The South Korean amassed 17 goals and 11 assists last term. He has good pre-season form behind him with two goals and two assists in two games.
Timo Werner did not light up the Premier League as expected last season. However he still had the most goal involvements for a Chelsea player. He could deliver handsome points if he packs his shooting boots tonight.
Differential Picks
Kai Havertz scored the opener against Arsenal in the previous game. The German had a solid second half of the season and scored some crucial goals. He had 4 goals and three assists last season from 18 appearances.
