It looks almost certain that William Gallas and Steven Pienaar will make their first starts of the season in today’s Europa League Cup tie with Rubin Kazan. The club needs to give them some long awaited game time but elsewhere, the side features some new names and is largely the ‘young team’ that Harry promised.
Redknapp started with Gomes in goal for the home game with Rubin and Messrs Bond and Jordan will need to decide between the Brazilian and Carlo Cudicini today. In front of the keeper, it looks like being Walker, Bassong and Gallas and with Danny Rose absent with an ankle problem, Andros Townsend may step in.
The real questions start in midfield where, if Pienaar starts, he could be joined by Livermore, Carroll and possibly Falque while Pavlyuchenko and Defoe could be the likely front pair after Dos Santos was ruled out through injury.
Harry Kane could also come into contention while some new names in the hat include Jack Barthram and Kevin Stewart.
Here’s our team to play Rubin Kazan, what’s yours?

Agreed with the team. I can’t understand why sandro isn’t in russia …
I reckon Sandro might play on Sumday in a 4,2,3,1
Looks pretty good although I’d like to see Walker given a rest. We’ve gone from having a wealth of right backs down to one, Corluka still injured?
Where is Sandro??
Walker has not travelled.
Who has travelled????
Can’t pick a team without a squad to choose from LMFAO
Based on who has travelled:
Gomes
Nicholson, Gallas, Basssong, Townsend
Falque, Livermore, Carroll, Pienaar
Defoe, Pav
SUBS: Fredericks, Parrett, Cudicini, Kane, Lancaster, Stewart, Waller-Lassen
Big shooooooooooocker
a clumsy foul by bassong………..results in a goal.
Lets pray he is sold in January
