    Sessegnon didn't travel. Probably one of the youth players.

    Let's be honest, it's going to be made difficult because of the defenders who are confirmed to have travelled

    CBs: Tanganga, Rodon, Cesay, Fagan-Walcott
    RBs: Emerson, Doherty (presuming Tanganga will play as CB)
    LBs: Reguilon, Davies

    When our first, second and third-choice CBs are out due to injury or isolating (but we can't blame the international break for that...) that guarantees a scratch back line with our fourth and fifth-choice CBs nailed-on to start as there's nobody else, and the knock-on effects elsewhere that come from that such as RB being a choice between getting Emerson some minutes to bed in or Doherty some minutes because we need Emerson to play against Chelsea

    No Winks in the XI :1980_boogie_down:

    Just pray the crab don’t make it against Chelsea though, and with Ndombele and Gil starting tonight, it’s likely we’ll go back to a borefest lineup in that game <rofl>

    The lineup looks like a concerted effort to get Spurs to play on the front foot, so I like it.

    Looks like we're sticking with the 4-3-3. Not sure how that'll suit some of this lineup.

    Obviously would be great to win a trophy but imo the first team shouldn’t be anywhere near these games at this stage.

    Imagine Kane gets injured.

    1-0. OG by Bade. Very nice move, though.

    We've put ourselves in this position by not signing another striker, unfortunately.
    Not many decent, homegrown ones available, which heavily restricts our options.

    To me, that’s even more reason not to risk him, especially as Son injured too. Last season had the back up of Vinicius and even Bale.

    I want us to take it seriously and Rennes are our toughest group stage opposition, think it’s right to go into this one with a pretty strong team.

    In an ideal world we can get Kane off at some point though.
