Graham Potter has recalled a number of Chelsea's star men for Sunday's Premier League showdown with Tottenham Hotspur.

Last week, the Blues lost 1-0 to Southampton after Potter made six alterations to his starting lineup, and the Englishman has again tinkered with his first XI.

Reece James, Thiago Silva, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Hakim Ziyech were given the weekend off versus the Saints, but the quartet all feature against Chelsea's London rivals.

Raheem Sterling makes his first start since suffering a hamstring injury at the beginning of January, while Kai Havertz gets the nod down the middle of the attack.

Cesar Azpilicueta, Benoit Badiashile, Mateo Kovacic, Noni Madueke, Mason Mount and David Datro Fofana are the six players to drop out of the side.

The latter of those players misses out entirely with Potter instead deciding to recall Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to the squad.

Aubameyang, a former Arsenal player, has not represented Chelsea since a brief substitute outing against Liverpool on January 21.

Tottenham Hotspur: Forster; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Royal, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Davies; Kulusevski, Kane, Richarlison
