Chelsea are looking 'light' in midfield and risk being overpowered by Tottenham when they meet at Wembley on Sunday, according to former Blues left back Graeme Le Saux.
The Premier League champions count N'Golo Kante as their only fully-fit and available senior midfielder with Cesc Fabregas suspended, Tiemoue Bakayoko returning from injury and having sold Nemanja Matic.
And Le Saux says Kante will be pushed to his limits by the power of Spurs in the middle of the park as Chelsea try to avoid their nightmare start to the season dragging on.
David Luiz or Andreas Christensen are expected to move into midfield to cover.
