Chelsea will be aiming to secure back-to-back wins for the first time under Thomas Tuchel when they lock horns with London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday evening.

The Blues began the Tuchel era with a 0-0 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers, but they swept aside Burnley 2-0 at the weekend thanks to goals from full-backs Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso.

A top-four charge is now much more likely than a title push for Chelsea, who rose to seventh in the table with that win - six points adrift of the Champions League places.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

Hakim Ziyech

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Fatigue
Possible return date: February 4 (vs. Tottenham)

The absence of Hakim Ziyech on Sunday raised a few eyebrows, but Tuchel revealed that the winger was left out simply because he needed a rest. As a result, Ziyech is expected to be fine for the midweek London derby.

Kurt Zouma

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Unspecified
Possible return date: February 4 (vs. Tottenham)

Tuchel revealed at his pre-match press conference that Kurt Zouma picked up a small issue during a training session, and he will be assessed before the game.

Kai Havertz

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Unspecified
Possible return date: February 4 (vs. Tottenham)

As is the case with Zouma, Kai Havertz also picked up a minor injury during Wednesday's training session, and his involvement in this derby is uncertain.
