Brazil international Oscar returns to Chelsea's side for the London derby clash with Tottenham at White Hart Lane.

The 23-year-old was rested from the squad that faced Southampton last time out, but having dropped points on the south coast, Jose Mourinho is keen to add some extra attacking guile to his armoury, in what will be his 100th start for the club.

For Tottenham. it's a complete change in the full back positions by Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, as Danny Rose comes in for Ben Davies while Kyle Walker returns at right back for Spurs, with Romanian Vlad Chiriches dropping to bench.

Meanwhile, in midfield, Nabil Bentaleb has recovered from a virus to partner Ryan Mason, as Benjamin Stambouli misses out.
