The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.
Mourinho has won 12 and lost none of his 13 home games in all competitions against sides he’s previously managed, including winning all three against Chelsea (once with Inter and twice with Manchester United).
Lampard makes three changes to his team after their loss to Bournemouth last weekend as he brings in Tomori, Alonso and Kovacic. Jorginho and Pulisic drop down to the bench.
Mourinho was clearly impressed with his side’s performance as they secured a stoppage-time win over Wolves last time out as he named an unchanged team today.

Jose Mourinho faces Chelsea and his former player Frank Lampard for the first time since taking the Spurs job and comes into this game having lost just one of his five league games since becoming their manager (L1). A win over his old team today will take Spurs into the top four. Chelsea, on the other hand, have lost four of their last five (W1) in the Premier League, including their last two outings and Lampard will want to end that run today.
