Tottenham will be hoping to move one step closer towards reaching their first FA Cup final for 30 years when they travel to Everton in the fifth-round on Wednesday.
On the back of a comfortable victory over West Brom on Sunday, Jose Mourinho’s side will be looking to get back on track after three straight defeats prior to the Baggies win.
However, the Spurs boss confirmed that Sergio Regulion and Giovani Lo Celso are both still unavailable, whilst Serge Aurier, who hobbled off late on against West Brom, is major doubt.
In better news, Dele Alli, who hasn’t featured since the third-round tie at Marine, could be involved after missing the last few games with a tendon injury.
Hugo Lloris will start, whilst Matt Doherty will replace the absent Aurier, alongside Eric Dier, Toby Alderweireld and Ben Davies at the back.
We think that Harry Winks will be recalled and start alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg – with Tanguy Ndombele pushing further forward into the number 10 role after playing slightly deeper on Sunday.
Moving forward, Steven Bergwijn should get the nod over Lucas Moura, supporting Heung Min Son and Harry Kane in attack – meaning the likes of Erik Lamela, Lucas Moura and Carlos Vinicius will have to settle for the bench.
Here’s our predicted XI to face West Brom – what’s yours? Let us know in the comments section below.
Lloris, Doherty, Alderweireld, Dier, Davies, Hojbjerg, Winks, Ndombele, Son, Bergwijn, Kane.
Eric Dier in defence,sorry guys we just handed the game to Everton,no brainer, what Mourinho see in Dier is clueless,he must be sold, Poch knew that that’s is why he benched him
he also benched ali too so that must also be correct
Although fans love fa cup it’s no benefit to the club money wise better to win the Thursday cup and finish 4th
Why drop Lamela And Lucas after their performances at the weekend?
They are hardly tired and in need of a rest!!
Also after a long awaited clean sheet, should we not stick with it.
Appreciate Aurier maybe injured, but no excuse for Dier!!
That is the first thing that came to me. We played well with the personnel and yet this writer is proposing change for 2 players who hardly play. Tanguy just go the chance to not be a #10. Why not let him play his natur position.
LLoris, Doherty, Alderwield, Rondon, Davies..Dier Hoijberg Ndombele, Begwin, Son Kane .. WOuld line up as a 343 or 433..Jose is going to defend aganist Everton and play the counter attack..no way he puts out the formation he played aganist West Brom..he knows losers go home and he would rather lose on Kicks vs outright,.
