      Dean Henderson is set to return between the sticks after keeping a clean sheet on his debut at Luton.
      Juan Mata, Daniel James and Odion Ighalo could all return if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decides to make significant changes while Eric Bailly is likely to come back in after a commanding display at Kenilworth Road.
      Andreas Pereira is expected to join Lazio so unlikely to play any part.

      Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Alexis Mac Allister both impressed at Preston for Brighton and are therefore likely to return to the side.

      Watch as classy Tottenham star Eric Dier is first to console Mount after Chelsea ace’s penalty miss in Carabao Cup clash

      by

      TOTTENHAM star Eric Dier was hailed by fans for showing his class by consoling Mason Mount after Chelsea’s Carabao Cup exit.
      Blues midfielder Mount, 21, missed the decisive spot-kick to send Spurs into the competition’s quarter-finals.

      Timo Werner’s first Chelsea goal looked to be enough for Frank Lampard’s side before Erik Lamela pounced late on to send the game to penalties.
      After nine perfect spot-kicks, Mount was left with Chelsea’s fifth due to Timo Werner suffering cramp.
      The England International then stuck wide of the post as the Blues crashed out of the Carabao Cup.
      Spurs players rushed to celebrate with keeper Hugo Lloris but fans noticed Dier go straight to Three Lions team-mate Mount to console him.

      One tweeted: “Dier was in a similar position when he missed his penalty against Chelsea. He knows that feeling.”
      Another said: “Respect Dier for this.”
      A third added: “Class act from him.”
      However, many fans also expressed their hope that Dier had washed his hands before wrapping them around Mount’s face.

      Jose wasn’t happy but there was nothing I could do about it, nature was calling

      The Spurs defender had incredibly rushed to the toilet while the match was going on in the second half – with boss Jose Mourinho running after him.
      Dier had the last laugh however as he shared a picture of the Man of the Match award sitting on the toilet on Instagram after the game.
      He said: “After playing on Sunday it wasn’t easy, maybe that’s the reason I had to run off but we got through it!
      “All of the staff and the players put the effort in.
      “Jose wasn’t happy but there was nothing I could do about it, nature was calling.
      “I heard there was a chance while I was off the pitch but thankfully they didn’t score.”

      It’s not the first time the Spurs star has darted off the pitch during a cup game.
      In fact, in Dier’s last domestic cup outing – the FA Cup penalty shootout defeat by Norwich, he surged into the stands to confront a fan.
      He was charged by the FA for leaping over the advertising hoardings and racing up the West Stand to protect younger brother, Patrick.

      Wasteful Chelsea don’t know how to kill a game and once again end match their own worst enemies after Tottenham loss

      by

      IT SEEMED like Tottenham were dusted before their Carabao Cup clash with Chelsea even began. 
      Jose Mourinho delivered a glum pre-match press conference pretty much ruling out their chances – then again he told reporters he was playing without a striker altogether, not even using a false nine.

      This is a typical sulk from the former Chelsea boss, who is angry about a congested fixture period and injuries to some of his key players. 
      Of course, this was an issue for him and his team, but I wasn’t expecting such a negative and pessimistic approach to the first half from them. 
      Chelsea are used to teams sitting off and defending in numbers hoping to contain them whilst allowing them the lion’s share of possession.

      5

      But this is usually lower league sides who face up to Chelsea like this, not a Mourinho-lead Tottenham. 

      Frank Lampard’s men had the run of Tottenham Hotspur stadium for the first 45 minutes but Spurs came out a different animal in the second half. 
      Chelsea largely dominated possession, with Timo Werner notching his first goal for the club with a 19th-minute opener.
      Yet this is where Lampard failed.
      Chelsea had enough chances to put the game to bed and should have whilst they smelt blood – but once again they didn’t take their opportunities.

      Tottenham came out fighting in the second period, playing a much higher line, and it was their turn to dominate and threaten Chelsea’s goal.
      Which would surely make Spurs fans wonder, why did they not set up like this from the off? 
      It was almost like Mourinho didn’t realise he cared about the game until half time. 
      Spurs got their deserved equaliser when Erik Lamela swept home on 83 minutes, taking the contest to penalties.

      Chelsea had no idea how to deal with Spurs coming at them in the second half, having wasted chances to put the game to bed.

      But Chelsea really shouldn’t have even let it get that far. 
      The Blues played with a real intensity to get the ball back when they didn’t have possession in the first half, but failed to show that same intensity when attacking with the ball. 
      Apart from Callum Hudson-Odoi, nobody was really trying to take the game to Tottenham when they were absolutely there for the taking in the first half. 

      Chelsea ended the game once again as their own worst enemies.
      They had no idea how to deal with Spurs coming at them in the second half, having wasted their chances to put the game to bed before that.
      And it was Tottenham who sneaked through, winning the shootout 5-4 as Blues’ England midfielder Mason Mount missed the TENTH kick.

      by

      BRIGHTON and Manchester United are doing it all again after playing out an epic in the weekend.
      Bruno Fernandes’ 100th minute penalty secured a 3-2 win for the Red Devils with VAR reversing the referee’s decision after the final whistle had blown and adjudging Neil Maupay to have handled in the box.

      Andreas Pereira is expected to join Lazio so unlikely to play any part.

      Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Alexis Mac Allister both impressed at Preston for Brighton and are therefore likely to return to the side.

      Tottenham 1 Chelsea 1 (5-4 pens): Spurs win dramatic Carabao Cup clash after Mason Mount penalty miss

      by

      HE was serious, all right, Old Sulky Chops in the Tottenham dugout.
      Jose Mourinho might have claimed he was going to jock off the Carabao Cup due to Tottenham’s acute fixture congestion.

      But he sent out an experienced Tottenham team, who produced an outstanding second-half performance, equalised late and won a tense, silent penalty shoot-out when Mason Mount missed the decisive spot-kick for Chelsea.
      Spurs had been offered the shortest ever route to a major Wembley final – just three wins required after Leyton Orient’s sicknote earned them a bye in the third round.
      And if you believed Mourinho they weren’t even going to have a serious go at defeating Chelsea.
      But don’t you ever believe the Portuguese rascal. This was vintage Mourinho – rope-a-dope defending followed by a strong finish.

      It was a bitter blow for Chelsea boss Frank Lampard, whose side lost the FA Cup Final to Arsenal last month and have blown another trophy shot already.
      With Maccabi Haifa coming up in the Europa League on Thursday, Mourinho has been having a public tizzy about fixture chaos and an apparent lack of resources, which continued in his pre-match TV interview.
      “Who is going to play up front? Nobody. We don’t have anybody,” he scowled.
      Although Harry Kane was on the bench, along with Lucas Moura, who scored a Champions League semi-final hat-trick last year – and both were sent on in the final stages to score shootout penalties.

      Even with nine changes this was always a line-up capable of getting a result – Mourinho’s squad is not as shallow as he sometimes makes out.
      Sergio Reguilon, the less-heralded of Tottenham’s two recent acquisitions from Real Madrid, had an eventful full debut at left-back – at fault for Timo Werner’s first Chelsea’s goal but creating Erik Lamela’s equaliser.
      Chelsea boss Lampard knows Mourinho’s mind games better than most and insisted he was not fooled by them.
      Lampard had won all three of his previous meetings with his one-time mentor – a league double over Spurs last season and a victory with Derby against Mourinho’s Manchester United in this competition.
      The Chelsea boss gave a debut to keeper Edouard Mendy and a first start to Ben Chilwell.
      And after 18 minutes of Chelsea passing the ball to and fro, into midfield and backwards again, with more than 80 per cent possession, the visitors scored.

      It was a disaster for Reguilon who lost the ball to Azpilicueta in midfield and when the Chelsea skipper received it back from Callum Hudson-Odoi, the Spurs debutant was sent to the nachos stand by Azpilicueta doing little more than standing still.
      Azpilicueta had the time to square to Werner, who rammed past Hugo Lloris.
      Spurs then seemed to decide that having the football might help and soon almost equalised.
      With Chelsea’s defence having one of their customary Nanna naps, Gedson Fernandes snuck in behind Kurt Zouma, who produced an excellent recovery tackle in the last ditch.
      Then, a wonderful little touchline spat between the two managers – a stoppage in play annoyed Mourinho, who started at fourth official Andre Marriner.
      When Lampard became involved, Mourinho gave him ‘the lobster’ – the two yapping hands signal.

      He then suggested that when Chelsea were 3-0 down at West Brom on Saturday, the Blues boss had been conspicuously absent from his technical area.
      Whatever happened to the old bromance? That famous shower scene, when Jose told a naked Frank he was the dog’s conkers.
      In truth, there has been little love between them since Lampard left Mourinho’s Chelsea, apparently for Major League Soccer, only to turn up at Manchester City.
      Spurs were discovering impetus and Erik Lamela, one of Mourinho’s two ‘false nines’, performed a neat swivel and a shot which Mendy saved with his legs.
      Spurs started the second half like a train and Reguilon came close to making amends when Aurier picked him out in space, yet Mendy pushed the Spaniard’s drive over the bar.
      The Senegalese certainly looks an upgrade on Kepa Arrizabalaga – though perhaps not as good as the last keeper Chelsea signed from Rennes, Petr Cech.

      With Spurs swarming, Steven Bergwijn – Mourinho’s second ‘falsie’ – went close and then had a decent penalty shout against Ben Chilwell turned down by Lee Mason.
      Without VAR, they all just got on with playing football – and where’s the fun in that?
      With 20 minutes remaining, Mourinho sent on Kane and switched to a flat back four, in the closest he ever gets to tossing caution to the breeze.
      But it was Chelsea sub N’Golo Kane who made an instant impact winning the tackle of the night high up the pitch, allowing Werner to test Lloris with a stinging shot.
      With Spurs having used al three subs, Eric Dier suddenly dashed down the tunnel – presumably for a loo break – with Mourinho in hot pursuit and Lloris yelling ‘what the **** is going on?’
      But with Dier restored, Spurs continued to press and they grabbed a deserved equaliser on 84 minutes, Reguilon teasing his way down the left and centring for Lamela to prod home with Kurt Zouma and Emerson seemingly switched off.
      Then the penalties – nine perfect efforts, followed by Mount hitting the outside of the post, with Mourinho cavorting straight down the tunnel in euphoria.

      Jose Mourinho says his side have virtually no chance of challenging for the Carabao Cup this year due to fixture congestion, and as a result a weakened Tottenham XI is expected to start this game.
      Gareth Bale and Son Heung-min are out injured for this game while Dele Alli had been expected to start but instead finds himself axed by Jose Mourinho yet again.
      New signing Sergio Reguilon could make his Spurs debut in this London derby.

      Ben Chilwell could make the squad for Chelsea as he manages his return from a heel injury, but Christian Pulisic is out.
      Hakim Ziyech is back in training however this game is likely to come too soon for the Moroccan.

      Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho: “We have a game on Thursday that gives us not as much money as the Champions League, but the group phase of the Europa League gives us a certain amount that for a club like us is very important.
      “It’s a competition with a possible group phase that gives us a good chance to go through to the next knockout stage, so this game on Thursday is very important for us.”

      Chelsea boss Frank Lampard: “Yeah, I mean, I know that, and I know it’s a busy time for Tottenham because of the Europa League.
      “It’s a busy time for us all. They had a free mid-week last week, we didn’t.
      “I know they have a busy week this week. But when I analyse Tottenham and know the squad they have, and analyse what might be a team that maybe didn’t play 90 minutes pretty much yesterday.
      “They have a fantastic squad, so I feel that any squad Jose will put out can be very strong.”
