Porro last played during the 2-2 draw at Burnley, where the Spain international was deployed as a right-wing back in Frank's 3-5-2 system at Turf Moor. He then didn't feature against Frankfurt in the UEFA Champions League in midweek, as Spurs won 2-0, thanks to goals from Randal Kolo-Muani and Dominic Solanke. As confirmed by a club statement earlier this week, Porro is set to be out of action for at least four weeks.
A new era begins for Chelsea tonight, as Liam Rosenior takes charge for the first time. No manager/head coach/performance coordinator wants to start with a derby, and while their rivalry with Fulham hasn't been particularly fierce, Craven Cottage under the lights has been a problem for Liverpool and Manchester City already this season. With Arsenal hosting Liverpool on Thursday, City and Aston Villa must seize the chance to apply pressure and cut back that six-point gap at the top.
