Tottenham travel to Hull City for their final match of the Premier League season, and Mauricio Pochettino has selected a strong starting eleven.
That’s despite both teams having absolutely nothing to play for. Spurs sealed second place a fortnight ago and cannot move up nor down in the table, while the Tigers were relegated earlier this month.
There is, however, a certain individual prize on offer. Harry Kane all but sealed the Premier League Golden Boot with his four goals at Leicester City on Thursday night. He’ll be eager to find the net again today to confirm the award.
Hugo Lloris was deemed doubtful with a knee injury earlier this week, but he appears to have recovered. The Frenchman captains the visitors.
There are two changes to the team that beat Leicester 6-1. Kieran Trippier replaces Moussa Sissoko at right wing-back, while Christian Eriksen is in for Mousa Dembele.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to all the team news.

#thfc Lloris shakes off an injury to play. If he keeps a clean sheet & Courtois doesn’t, he’ll share Golden Glove award with the Belgian.

Pity we’re going into the final game without two players who have been outstanding all season: full-back partners Walker and Rose #HullTot
