Full Tottenham XI and Substitutes

We have Tottenham back in a 3-5-2 formation as it provides more control in the midfield. Without Heung-min Son it makes sense to push the extra number into the midfield particularly against a team like Chelsea which likes to flood the centre of the pitch.

Tottenham Bench

With Dier back in the XI, it means Japhet Tanganga is back to the substitutes bench and someone else that was available against Leicester will not be against Chelsea. The player most likely to be dropped is Dane Scarlett, although some ongoing transfer business may preclude a player or two from appearing.

Defensively Pierluigi Gollini, Tanganga, and Joe Rodon, are in the squad. Ryan Sessegnon is likely against in the team and Royal may be an emergency substitute. Dele Alli, Giovani Lo Celso, Bryan Gil, and of course Bergwijn round out Conte’s options off the bench.

Tottenham Full XI

Lloris – Davies – Dier – Sanchez – Reguilon – Hojbjerg – Winks  – Skipp – Doherty – Kane – Moura

Spurs substitutes

Gollini – Rodon – Tanganga – Dele – Bryan – Lo Celso – Sessegnon – Royal- Bergwijn 

That is our team, who do you have in yours?

Next. Has Bergwijn come full circle at Tottenham?. dark
