Xabi Alonso has named his Chelsea side to face Tottenham Hotspur at Accor Stadium in Sydney, Australia.

Chelsea conclude the first leg of their overseas tour in Australia with a London derby in New South Wales. They will head to Asia next for three matches, with the first against Juventus on August 5.

Alonso's side are looking to claim back-to-back wins in Sydney following Tuesday's 6-4 win against Western Sydney Wanderers, which saw Joao Pedro net a second-half hat-trick.

They face a reinvigorated Spurs side, who managed to avoid a shock relegation last season. Roberto De Zerbi's men have been busy in the transfer market this summer, splashing the cash to sign the likes of Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi and Andrew Robertson.

Chelsea now have 29 players on tour with them. Filip Jorgensen is no longer with the squad after returning to the UK to finalise his departure.

Moises Caicedo and Nicolas Jackson joined up with the squad earlier this week after returning from their holidays post-World Cup. However, they are both absent, as expected.

Jorrel Hato, who starts for the Blues, and Mamadou Sarr missed out against Western Sydney Wanderers as they continue to work through their pre-season plan. Sarr is in the squad.

Romeo Lavia was a precautionary absence after a hamstring flare, but he is available and starts against Spurs in Sydney.

Alonso has opted for a strong side against Spurs. Teddy Sharman-Lowe has kept his place in the side.

Marco Palestra, Levi Colwill and Wesley Fofana all come into the side after their cameos on Tuesday.

Alonso has unleashed the attack which ended the game against Western Sydney Wanderers. Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro, Estevao Willian and Jamie Gittens all start and will be desperate to find more goals as they warm up for the new campaign.

Reggie Watson drops to the bench after his 90 minutes on Tuesday, so he will hope to come on in the second half.

The absentees are Robert Sanchez and Calvin Diakite, as well as Jackson and Caicedo.
