Another Chelsea change as Alfie Gilchrist is not risked any further. He is replaced by Josh Acheampong, the 17-year-old defender making his debut.

The minutes are ticking away and it feels like this game is now easing towards its conclusion. There's a break in play now as Alfie Gilchrist receives some treatment.

Tottenham are plugging away as they try to get one back but Chelsea have adopted a low back and are leaving few gaps. James Maddison tries to wipe out the defence with a cross, but it is over everyone.

Time is running out for Tottenham, who make another change as Bryan Gil comes on for Brennan Johnson.

Chelsea make their first change of the game as Cesare Casadei is on for Mykhailo Mudryk.

Tottenham should have one back!

They respond well and the ball comes to Brennan Johnson unmarked on the far side of the goal, but he fires into the sidenetting.

Ange Postecoglou has his head in his hands.

Marc Cucurella is fouled just outside the box by Dejan Kulusevski and this is a dangerous position for a Chelsea free-kick...

Tottenham are starting to put Chelsea under pressure as they chase an equaliser. Some of the Chelsea players are starting to look tired. Will Pochettino look to one of the youth players on the bench for fresh legs?

Lovely move by Tottenham. They work the ball up the pitch quickly with a nice passage of play involving James Maddison, Son Heung-min and Brennan Johnson, whose low ball towards the far post just evades Emerson Royal sliding in.

One of James Maddison's first duties is to take a corner. It is a decent in-swinger but Chelsea clear and break quickly, with Micky van de Ven picking up a booking for bundling over Nicolas Jackson.

Ange Postecoglou rings the changes with a triple substitution. On come Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, James Maddison and Rodrigo Bentancur for Pape Sarr, Yves Bissouma and Richarlison.

An incredible stat from this game, as of the 61st minute Noni Madueke has completed as many dribbles (4) as all the Tottenham players combined.

Good spell for Tottenham now as the ball is worked into the box for Pedro Porro, whose effort from a tight angle is pushed away.

Great run by Noni Madueke as he squeezes between a couple of Tottenham defenders. He decides to try and tee up a team-mate but the ball is cut out. He perhaps should have gone for goal himself.

Tottenham have been better so far in this half but they have not yet forced a save out of Djordje Petrovic in the Chelsea goal.
