Think we all want 4 at the back but maybe 3 might work against one of the big clubs as we will probably go back to having 40% possession.
I'd go 4-4-2

Think we need Faye's presence for corners at both ends. Hoping for a 2-1 win. Both forwards to open their account.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Tottenham have won their only two Premier League games at Hull - the last game in Yorkshire ended 5-1 to Spurs, with Jermain Defoe netting a hat-trick.
Spurs won the reverse fixture this season thanks to a late Roberto Soldado penalty.
Hull City
Hull have gone four league games without either a goal or a point since putting six past Fulham.
They have earned nearly four times as many points from their 11 home league games (18) than in 12 away fixtures (five points).
The Tigers, along with Cardiff, have had the fewest shots on target in the league this season (71).
George Boyd is the most used substitute in the division this season (15 times).
New signing Nikica Jelavic has failed to score in any of his 11 Premier League appearances this term.
Tottenham
Only Arsenal (26) have earned more points on their travels than Tottenham (25) this season, with the Gunners having played one game more.
Spurs have won their last five away league games, their best run since 1960. However, their last clean sheet on the road was seven games ago, on 3 November.
Soldado's decisive penalty in the corresponding fixture on 27 October was his fourth league goal of the season; he's scored just once in 10 Premier League appearances since.
In contrast, Emmanuel Adebayor has scored five goals in his last seven league games.
Spurs have won nine of their 11 games against bottom-half opposition (D1, L1).
