Closed Spurs vs Chelsea

Some confusion over the Tottenham line-up v Chelsea. We are checking this now #TOTCHE

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Bale IS playing. The Twattenham official twitter confirmed their team. No Dembele though.

@SpursOfficial: Here's our starting line-up v Chelsea - Friedel; Walker, Caulker, Gallas, Vertonghen; Sandro, Sigurdsson; Lennon, Dempsey, Bale; Defoe.

Reports that Bale injured himself during the warm-up.

Now SSN saying Bale's partner has gone into labour? This is hilarious.

Gareth Bale, Clint Dempsey and Jermain Defoe form the core of theTottenham attack to face Chelsea. Brad Friedel is in goal, selected ahead of French international Hugo Lloris.

Hugo Lloris to put in a transfer request. He is too talented for a pissant club like Twattenham; a keeper of his calibre should be at Barcelona (Valdes is worse than terrible) or at one of the Italian Giants.

Bench the Captain of France. Right.

Mr @GarethBale11 not playing today. He's about to become a daddy.

Bale is not starting! GREAT!

[Leif 6,006]

I chuckle to myself every time I see Lloris on the bench.

Easily one of the best goalkeepers in the world, even when out of form.

Sure, their Dinosaur of a 'keeper is doing well, but it was just such an odd thing to buy one of the world's best (well, from what we've seen of him in France and with the national team) goalkeepers and then barely use him.

Just imagine if AVB bought... Marc-Andre ter Stegen while he was here and used him in a Turnbull role. I would rage.

Via the official PL twitter account:

Confirmed Tottenham team: Friedel, Vertonghen, Gallas, Caulker, Walker, Sandro, Sigurdsson, Dempsey, Huddlestone, Lennon, Defoe

No Bale,,so Brana & Hazard will exploit right flank!!! How lucky we are...

[Peppen 934]

This is brilliant. Should be a win. SHOULD BE.

[CHOULO19 24,332]
