Terry leads Blues as Lampard stays on the bench

John Terry leads out Chelsea in tonight’s Barclays Premier League game at Tottenham barely 24 hours after being charged with a racially aggravated public order offence.

The Blues skipper, who denies having abused QPR defender Anton Ferdinand in October’s west London derby, start at White Hart Lane but Frank Lampard has been dropped for another big game, with Ramires and John Obi Mikel recalled.
