Harry Kane and Erik Lamela make up Tottenham’s front two, the latter of whom wholly deserving of his recent contribution to the first team. Lamela puts in an unparalleled work rate every match and threatens consistently on the dribble, opening space for his offensive colleagues. The Argentinian is, like Son, desperate to bag a goal.

However, if he sets up the likes of Harry, Gareth or Son, it won’t matter to Lamela who deposits the final touch. Kane is looking for his first goal in three games, his last coming in a 2-0 win over West Brom at home almost three weeks ago.

Jose will stick to the conventional 4-2-3-1 formation, which should garner success if each individual plays mistake-free football. Individual mistakes is an area that has unremittingly plagued Spurs this season, with Davinson, Dier and Lloris as three of the primary culprits.
