Strong line up if everyone performs - we should be able to win.

[dansubrosa]

No Abraham on the bench. That’s disappointing, I hoped he’d get his farewell game at the very least.

looks good to me - just have to have the right attitude from the get go

Pulisic? He has been really average for some time now.

He's about the only one capable of scoring though

[Sexyfootball]

Probably the best team he could pick today. It's all going to click into place ... so 4-0 ... a brace for Werner, with Mount and Azpi also on the score sheet 🙂

[ForeverCarefree]

Abraham's continued exile from match day squads is just ridiculous. 

Giroud has been pants the last few times he's come off the bench. Simply awful. 

Yet Tammy can't even get a place on the bench, let alone 15 minutes playing time. 

Stinks. 

[LongtimerLurker]

I think this I'd the best 11 we could put out atm, need the intensity from the start just like on Tuesday. Catch them early and keep them on the back foot. As long as we are actually clinical we should be able to get the 3 points.

[axman2526]

I feel Christensen needed this game to have a shot at starting the final. So with that in mindi believe this is 10 of our 11 starters for the final.

Will just be a case of who drops out for Kante.

We need to win to secure top 4, no time for farewells.

Tbh it looks the kind of situation where the player has told the club he is leaving.

If he's said he's leaving it's because he's not had a fair crack under Tuchel. 

If any other attacker was scoring with anything resembling consistency I could understand but they're not. 

Goals from open play continue to be like gold dust whilst chasing our goals and our top goal scorer from open play continues to look on from the stands. 

It completely flies in the face of logic.

Pretty sure Spurs dont want to end the season in the Conference league spot and want to finish above Arsenal. They still have Kane for now, so i wont count them out.

This is why I'm 75% sure spurs are going to lose

Before Cahill

During cahill

After Cahill

That's just pure speculation.

He didn't want to sign an extension when he was offered one during Lampard's tenure either.

Hope you are wrong ax, Werner, Havertz and Mount for me with pulisic coming off the bench, this worked so well v RM in the home semi final leg - think Kova drops out for Kante.

Also, think he will go with Christensen, Silva and Rudi with Dave at rwb.

Anyway, that’s next weeks problem, COYB !!!

The question is who will score 2 goals today, Pulisic or Werner?

[Munkunku]

Kane going for the golden boot today amongst other reasons to want to win today. Draw would be good because we don’t want Tottenham winning whatever the stakes 

[RMH]

It all started here, they closed us down days before travelling to Villa. We need to kick off with a win at Villa so the circle closes... or some sh*t like that.

Jorginho hat trick. All penalties.

No, it was widely reported by trustworthy sources. (Telegraph, The Athletic among others)

And here from our former manager himself.
