Dominic Solanke could return to bolster Tottenham’s fight for Premier League survival on Tuesday night against Chelsea.
Roberto De Zerbi goes into the game knowing that a win will guarantee safety and send West Ham down, with a point all but sealing the deal due to a better goal difference.
Tottenham have done pretty well since De Zerbi came to the club, with Spurs claiming big wins against Wolves and Aston Villa and points against Brighton and Leeds.
Now, there will finally be selection issues for De Zerbi as he gets some players back to full fitness, and his starting eleven looks so obvious, provided Solanke is fit.

How Tottenham must line up vs Chelsea
Antonin Kinsky will once again keep goal after his two heroic saves against Leeds last week.
Across the back four, Djed Spence might come in at left-back with doubts over Destiny Udogie’s fitness under scrutiny.
Micky van de Ven and Kevin Danso will operate as the central defenders with Pedro Porro keeping his spot at right-back.
In midfield, Joao Palhinha should start, with Conor Gallagher dropping deeper to play as a more conventional central midfielder.
Is THIS the team that we should deploy vs Chelsea with a win guaranteeing our Premier League status?🤔
What changes would you make?
That could pave the way for James Maddison to start a game for the first time this season after his impressive cameo last week.
On the flanks, Mathys Tel should start on the left, with Richarlison on the right.
That should see plenty of creative options on the pitch with Solanke hoping to get plenty of service through the middle as Tottenham look to end their torrid run of form at Stamford Bridge.
