Strong starting XI, as :

1. A win will put Spurs in control of the group
before the Eintracht fixtures (who may not
beat Marseille tomorrow) ,

2. I trust a PL starting XI akin to Fulham to see off Lesta

That would imply we're allowed to play Leicester, and we currently have The FA and the Met blaming each other for a postponement that hasn't happened yet
 
We can go strong for this one, which is nice. I imagine it’ll be the XI that started against Marseille, maybe with Kulu in for Son.
 
Anyway back to the match...

Good news for us that we have had a week to prepare, Kulu for Son would be the only change that I would make for this one, but I think Conte will keep faith with Son and that Kulu will get another 2nd half cameo but its telling that in 2 starts Richarlison has made it a choice between Son and Kulu for the 3rd forwards spot.

I remain hopeful that the old adage about class and form is true about Sonny he desperately needs a goal and maybe an appearance from the bench could help to focus the mind.

Sporting looked good last week and Edwards was exceptional from the highlights that I saw, and he will certainly have a point to prove. I think that a draw wouldn't be a bad result.

OK any predictions? No points in this game and no prizes either. There is no Brucie here.

I don't have a clue because I have no idea how good Lisbon are, but of course Portuguese teams are always difficult to beat. Blanchflower would not approve because they bore you to death.
