A trip to the Parc des Princes isn't exactly what the doctor ordered, just days removed from whatever that was on Sunday afternoon.
Spurs supporters are used to the Lilywhites wilting down Seven Sisters Road, but seldom have we seen a Tottenham team fail to lay a glove on their north London rivals quite like they did/didn't at the weekend.
Richarlison's outstanding strike will be lost to the annals of history, with Spurs' cautious approach that was flawed and poorly executed the main point of discussion in Lilywhite circles.
While Thomas Frank's team were able to perform well with similar ideals in place against Paris Saint-Germain in August, it'd be a risk for the Dane to view this fixture as anything but a free hit. The result is rather inconsequential, but the nature of our performance feels significant.
With that in mind, here's how Spurs could line up in Paris on Wednesday night.
Predicted Tottenham lineup vs. PSG (4-2-3-1)
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Guglielmo Vicario (GK) – The Italian lamented his team's lack of "fight" in Sunday's derby, but that wasn't the only reason for Spurs' convincing defeat. Still, winning a few more duels wouldn't go amiss here.
Djed Spence (RB) – Pedro Porro should've played against Arsenal, but I'm sticking with Spence at right-back. He's the best one-on-one defender at the club, and PSG have dribblers in abundance.
Cristian Romero (CB) – Romero is serving a one-game suspension this weekend, so there's no chance Frank will consider resting his skipper in the week. He scored in the Super Cup.
Micky van de Ven (CB) – A return to a back four means Van de Ven will work in partnership with Romero. The back five struggled on Sunday.
Destiny Udogie (LB) – If Spurs are to assert themselves in Paris, Udogie must aid the attack by flying up and down the left flank. He barely exited his half at the weekend.
Midfielders
João Palhinha (CM) – Fans want youth, but I don't think Frank will go without one of Palhinha or Rodrigo Bentancur on Wednesday. The former is more likely to get the nod.
Pape Matar Sarr (CM) – Sarr was another who should've started at the Emirates, but he'll be in the XI here. By deploying him deeper, there's room for Frank to deploy creators.
Xavi Simons (AM) – Frank's evil scheme was epitomised by Xavi's half-time arrival. We were 2-0 down at half-time when he entered the fray, having failed to record a first-half shot. He'll have a chip on his shoulder against his former club.
Forwards
Mohammed Kudus (RW) – Kudus was brilliant in the Super Cup, but the burden of responsibility is weighing heavy. Nuno Mendes is perhaps the best left-back in the world, so his task here is a tough one.
Richarlison (ST) – Dominic Solanke's out and Mathys Tel is ineligible, so Richarlison is unlikely to drop out. He did produce a wonderful moment amid the melancholy on Sunday, and the Brazilian's best performance in Lilywhite arrived in the Super Cup.
Randal Kolo Muani (LW) – He's eligible to face his parent club on Wednesday, and Frank shouldn't hesitate in deploying the Frenchman, who'll feel like he has something to prove to Luis Enrique.
