Chelsea vs Tottenham: Dele Alli and Eric Dier absent for London derby at Stamford Bridge
Tottenham will again be without midfielders Dele Alli and Eric Dier for Wednesday’s Premier League trip to take on Chelsea.After Saturday’s 2-1 loss at Burnley, Spurs will be keen to avoid a second consecutive defeat as they aim to keep up the pressure on both Manchester City and Liverpool.2

Alli has been sidelined since being injured against Fulham

Alli was excellent when these two met in this fixture last April, scoring twice in the second-half as Spurs won 3-1 to record their first win at Stamford Bridge in 28 years.The 22-year-old has been absent from Mauricio Pochettino’s since beating Fulham 2-1 in January with a hamstring issue keeping him on the sidelines. Dier, who also played an important role in that match, will not be available this time around due to tonsillitis and last featured as a substitute in the narrow 1-0 victory over Newcastle earlier this month.There was further disappointing news for Spurs, after the Football Association charged Pochettino for improper conduct following his confrontation with referee Mike Dean after their match at the weekend, which developed into lengthy and heated exchange.2

Alli scored twice at Chelsea last season

Dean has now beenredirected from fourth official duties in Tottenhams game at Chelsea to avoid any potential for further conflict with Pochettino.He will now be on the touchline at Manchester City v West Ham, with Kevin Friend taking his place.
