Tottenham Hotspur will be aiming to secure successive Premier League victories at the beginning of the 2022-23 campaign when they travel to Stamford Bridge for a London derby against Chelsea on Sunday.
The Lilywhites came from behind to brush aside Southampton 4-1 on home soil last weekend, with goals from Ryan Sessegnon and Eric Dier followed by a Mohammed Salisu own goal and a sweet strike from Dejan Kulusevski.
Antonio Conte is now preparing for a return to familiar territory, with the former Blues boss bidding to end Tottenham's five-game losing streak against the West Londoners.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the team's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest against Thomas Tuchel's side.
Status: Out
Type of injury: Heel
Possible return date: Unknown
Oliver Skipp suffered a hairline fracture of his heel following a freak accident in training at the beginning of this month, and the midfielder is set to miss the first few weeks of the new season.
Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Illness
Possible return date: August 14 (vs. Chelsea)
Japhet Tanganga was spotted in training in the build up to last weekend's win over Southampton but the defender was not named in Conte's matchday squad due to illness. It remains to be seen whether the 23-year-old will be involved against Chelsea.
