Davies and Werner join the out-for-the-season list. Skipp should be available again.
Neither side has any suspensions.

Lineups for each side's last league game:

Spurs: Vicario; Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Davies; Bentancur, Hojbjerg; Kulusevski, Maddison, Werner; Son.
Subs: Austin, Emerson, Dragusin, Bissouma, Sarr, Lo Celso, Johnson, Gil, Richarlison.

How would you like to line up for this one and how do you think we actually will line up?
 
Vicario
Porro, Romero, Dragusin, van de Ven
Sarr, Bentancur, Kulusevski
Johnson, Richarlison, Son

I have a feeling he’ll do the stupid thing though and pick Emerson LB.

I think he'll either pick Emerson at left-back or switch to a back five and do something really weird.
Van de Ven in that inverted fullback role would be a risky one, in my opinion.

Porro didn't look 100% to me at the end of the Arsenal game.
3 games in a week for him may be too far in his current situation.
 
I think Sarr needs to start. He’s not a complete player yet but he really does glue the midfield together better than anyone else. I think Kulu is also a really important player as he’ll help us retain the ball and progress through the Chelsea press. I think Ange didn’t say anything to worry about with Porro, so that’s good.

This for me please. I don’t love Kulu in midfield but think he needs to be on the pitch for this game. There’s a chance Ange thinks Bents and Sarr are a bit too similar so maybe he starts Bissouma instead of one of them.
 
Stanford bridge away. Might as not play it and just give Chelsea a 3-0 win.

Is it 2 wins there in the PL era? Absolutely pathetic record
I’ve already written this off as a loss. Whatever the circumstances we are always **** in this game.
Although I was there for one of our 2 wins though when dele scored 2.
