So Hodgson says Kyle Walker needs "at least" a week to reach fitness so that's one less thing to be concerned about for us. His pace can cause a few problems.

Hope Willian/Schürlle and Hazard are really up for this becasue those Spuds fullbacks are there to be bent over. They struggle mightily to score against bad defenses so if we're dialed in and don't have any stupid mistakes we should be able to shut them down.

A shame, because Naughton is a better right-back defensively than Walker, although they're both no better than average in my humble opinion. Hazard and Willian with have either on toast. They've torn far better full-backs to pieces this season, Zabaleta and Debuchy, for instance.

I know everyone here doesn't want to see him, but I think Ramires is a nailed on starter for this one. We have to match Paulinho's energy in the middle. Plus, Rami always tends to do extremely well against Tottenham.

I just think he's tired. would love for him to play but he hasn't been the 'legs in the middle of the pitch' for quite some time now. I think we can counter Paulinho by packing the midfield which is why I have Lamps, Luiz and Matic

Schurrle not as a striker please. Scoring goals when making midfield runs into space is very different to playing as a striker. He started as one against Man U at OT early in the season and did absolutely nothing.

He hit the crossbar actually!

Ever hear of a trivote? The thing that won Mourinho the Champions league at Porto and Inter.

I'm not disagreeing with you... its still 4-3-3 to me

Thoughts on Hazard through the middle like Bale was used last season at Spurs?

Cech

Iva-Terry-Cahill-Azpi

Matic-Luiz

Schurlle-Eddie-Willian

Torres

Should have enough to beat Spuds at home I should think. They are very poor and indecisive in the final third and our defense should be able to see it through, 2-0 Matic, Schurlle
