Tottenham face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Wednesday night aiming to close the gap at the top of the table following last weekend’s disappointing defeat at Burnley.
With a north London derby against Arsenal just around the corner, followed by a huge Champions League second leg clash with Borussia Dortmund, Mauricio Pochettino has a number of decisions to make regarding his team selection.
We’re very likely to see rotation at full-back, with Kieran Trippier and Ben Davies coming in for Serge Aurier and Danny Rose, whose performance against Burnley split opinion.
At centre-back, Davinson Sanchez should come back into the team after being rested at Turf Moor. He’ll be joined in a back three by Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld.
The rest of the team will probably be unchanged. Moussa Sissoko and Harry Winks will keep their places in midfield as Eric Dier has tonsillitis, while Christian Eriksen will support Son Heung-min and Harry Kane up front.
Here’s our predicted line-up to face Chelsea – what’s yours? Let us know in the comments section below.
My squad would differ from yours in that Ericksen would start on the bench. Lamela and Lucas as inverted wingers Son as the number 10 and Kane striking. Back four Davies Jan Sanchez KWP!! Lloris
Sissoko and Wanyama as central mids
leave jaun in a 3 man back free, needs to learn, and will be very good in a year or 2
This back 3 is not yielding good result ,i prefer back 4 ,good to have an attacking flair,bring in the Lamela and LUCAS
Rose must start IMO more mobile than Davies
Play the same set up as we did against Dortmund in the second half !!!
It’s a no brainier
