Saturday 26th August 12.30pm
Premier League
Vitality Stadium​

Sessegnon, Gil, Bentancur and Whiteman are all still out.
Maddison is highly likely to join them, but could be back soon.
Neither side has any suspensions.

Lineups for each side's last league game:

Spurs: Vicario; Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma, Maddison; Kulusevski, Richarlison, Son.
Subs: Forster, Emerson, Sanchez, Davies, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Perisic, Lo Celso, Soloman.

Bournemouth: Neto; Aarons, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Christie, Rothwell; Semenyo, Billing, Anthony; Solanke.
Subs: Radu, Hill, Kelly, Mepham, Kilkenny, Traore, Kluivert, Brooks, Moore.

Ref: Tim Robinson. Inexperienced at this level. VAR: John Brooks. Dropped last season for a mistake.

TV: TNT Sports 1, which is the BT Sport rebrand.

How would you like to line up for this one and how do you think we actually will line up?

Ange said Maddison trained today and could've also trained yesterday so currently is available, which is really good news, though I presume he may not be 100%. If he doesn't start then it's a toss of the coin between Lo Celso and Skipp.

Just listening to Ange in his Pressie and by the sound of his voice I'm not sure he will be fit for tomorrow!!<yikes> <laugh>
 
If Lo Celso is in the Departure Lounge there seems little point in giving him game time over Skippy. If not, then he is probably a better fit for replacing Maddison

There’s so many conflicting reports over him it’s mad. By the end of pre-season it was said he done enough to convince Ange he can stay, then in recent days it’s back to the notion Ange actually doesn’t trust him. Not coming on in either game leads towards the latter but tomorrow will be a decent idea as to where he fits - or doesn’t fit - into Ange’s plans. I’m more than happy to get rid though, fours years in and he can’t get off the bench and fatso can’t get in the squad, embarrassingly bad signings. Add the bloke that calls himself the pigeon and we’ve got the un-holy trinity!

Another interesting starting XI incoming, given that
Fulham are likely to going full strength for the League cup tie.

I would not start with Maddison (don't tempt fate this
early in the season) , but if fit enough have him on the
bench as a "last resort" option.

Going to be a very difficult game, one which we may well drop points in.
Think we need to keep our feet on the ground and remember that there is a long way to go before can hope for a realistic challenge for the top four

“Ohhh Argentinian friends!” <laugh>

I think today will give a good inclination to Lo Celso’s future as Maddison probably should start from the bench for precautionary reasons.

Top four!?

We’re going for the treble. Ange hasn’t even lit the barbie yet, barely finished putting the charcoal in.

Nah agree though, this is a banana skin type of game. Should be aiming to win it still but a draw won’t be a terrible result.

Just had a notification from Sky sports saying the game has been postponed??!

BBC temporarily had the same thing on their site,
but now tis gone.

Looks another case of sheeple hacks broadcasting
without doing a minute of due diligence.
 
Nobody appears to have told anyone at the stadium that it's postponed. Odd.
