Chelsea should give Callum Hudson-Odoi start against Tottenham
Chelsea host Tottenham on Wednesday night in the Premier League and manager Maurizio Sarri should start Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Sarri’s team desperately need a victory to breathe some new life into their hunt for a top four finish and that means overcoming a strong opponent.
Both Willian and Pedro started in the final defeat to Manchester City, which is why they should drop down to the bench.
Hudson-Odoi was used as a substitute at the weekend, but the attacker should be feeling fresher and ready to be unleashed on Spurs.

The 18-year-old has been a rare feature in the XI this campaign and started six senior games across all competitions, with none of them coming in the league.
But the right-winger is good enough to make an impact against Spurs and it will help with the fixture being player at home.

Hudson-Odoi is a rising talent that grows more confident every game and trusting him in a major league fixture would be a statement.
Chelsea could finish the night in the top four if results go their way, but a worst case scenario they could be six points behind fourth.
