Are there two more important players for us to be missing than Thiago and N'Golo?

Lets be positive. It is a Chelsea game.

Being positive - pretty sure we'll concede, but also confident we'll score.  Havertz hattrick. 

At least if it is a 4-2-2-2 everyone would be more or less in their correct position !

That midfield of Mount and Jorginho worries me a little. Defensively we look a little weak

Wagnh says 433, 5th stand says 4231, it's official its a back 4 lads. Very interesting since TT had the option for a 3atb still even with these bare minimum in defence. I'm assuming he knows Spurs will play on the counter and we will need to take our chances so he starts 4 attackers all in attacking positions. Still curious if it's a 433 or 4231. I'd rather Jorginho holding in a 433 than double pivot with Saul who looks shaky there with 3 cbs behind him what will he be like with 2? 

I'm optimistic, hopefully Sarr and Saul turn up as they're my two main concerns.

Let's be realistic in our positively. 

 

Kepa has been brilliant when called up this season, Toni can lead our defence in Silvas absence. 

Mount will drive us on and Rom has a point to prove.

Havertz hattrick though lmao

Reckon mount will play RWB but who knows

4231 with havertz as a 10 then you do have everyone there.

Tt springs a surprise every time. Spuds have picked a strong styled line up.

And don't forget the quickfire double for Werner in his 10 minute cameo off the bench !

Well done you jinxed them lol...

Kovacic is on the bench, kante probably rested? Or is he confirmed covid 

oh sh*t i see now that they are both positive, but they would have already been tested in the morning so not my fault

Cause Contes fragile ego could not handle being knocked out by us.

So long as he is offside both time that could easily happen.

East stand upper is pretty grim ain’t it!

it's just spurs and it's the league cup, rather have them absent for this than for the man city game on the 15th

It looks surprisingly ok, considering we are missing six of our first choice eleven !

Take Google with a pinch of salt, if this is right though Havertz and Mount and Ziyech all playing in their actual positions. This could be a wild game

If you ignore Alonso at LB and Sarr at his side aye not bad lol

is that the system our highness lukaku prefers?

You're not allowed to post anymore until you apologize.

Even Gus Poyet has just admitted on live TV that he didn't realize how important our rivalry with Tottenham was until he made the mistake of signing for them.

We hate Tottenham and always will.
