Center Forward – Harry Kane

Who else but Harry Kane is starting up front for Tottenham? No seriously, who else? At this point, Kane is still the only recognized striker in the squad and as the talisman in an important game, will be leading the line.

I would like to think the overall effort from this past weekend can be chalked up to a lack of some fitness, but how much better will it be only four days later? Kane plays and goes all 90 as Spurs have no other choice, but he likely would anyway, given the game’s importance.

Bench

Expect a mix of young and old, attack and defense on the bench. The headliners are Tanguy Ndombele, Steven Bergwijn, and Erik Lamela. While, Paulo Gazzaniga, Ben Davies, Eric Dier, and Moussa Sissoko round out the squad. This means Harry Winks, Gedson Fernandes, Juan Foyth, Joe Hart, and some of the kids are not in the squad, but at this level someone we know will always not be in the squad.

So, there you have it, a 4-1-4-1 formation made up of: Lloris, Sessegnon, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Doherty, Hojbjerg, Moura, Lo Celso, Dele, Son, and Kane.

What do you think? How do you think Spurs will line up and who do you think will play?
