Tottenham vs. Chelsea live score, updates, highlights and lineups as Sterling starts amid six Potter changes
Chelsea travel to Tottenham in the Premier League London derby on Sunday lunchtime, where it already feels like just one win will be enough if Graham Potter’s side are to salvage their top-flight season.
The Blues are 10th in the table, 11 points behind their hosts, who are fourth and final in the Champions League qualifiers.
Potter faces growing questions about his suitability for the task amid a period of almost unprecedented change at Stamford Bridge, having registered just two wins in his last 14 league games. Chelsea have scored once in an ongoing four-game winless streak.
Tottenham have struggled for consistency themselves this season but can benefit from having top-four rivals Manchester United and Newcastle United elsewhere at Wembley in the Carabao Cup final.
Sporting News is following the game live, providing live score updates and commentary.

Tottenham vs Chelsea live updates, Premier League highlights
50 minutes after kick-off: Probably nothing underscores the opposing predicament of these two sides at the moment more than Tottenham’s squad list. They are unchanged since last week’s 2-0 win at West Ham.
1 hour after kick-off: Here’s the Chelsea XI and Graham Potter has been pretty emphatic about the changes since last time’s disheartening 1-0 defeat by Southampton. Six changes total, including a launch for Raheem Sterling in this misfire attack.
1 hour 20 minutes from kick-off: When these sides met in August, Spurs boss Antonio Conte and Potter’s predecessor Thomas Tuchel are known to have gone straight in the face. The touchline will be a much quieter place today as Conte is still recovering from gallbladder surgery. Even if he had been there, it would probably have been cordial.
“I spoke to him when I was in Brighton and we had discussions,” Potter told reporters, reflecting on his past exchanges with Conte. “We stayed in touch from afar. He’s someone I admired a lot as a coach. I like how his teams are organized and when you meet him he’s a gentleman.”
1 hr 40 mins from kick-off: According to the old cliché, the form book goes out the window on derby day. Chelsea and their under-fire head coach Graham Potter are very hopeful that is the case today at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Around October last year they more or less stopped winning Premier League games. Chelsea have won twice in their last 14 Premier League games. They’ve conceded quite a few goals in the past few weeks. Joao Felix’s opener in the 1-1 draw at West Ham is the only time the Blues have scored in their last four games.
