Ben Davies is back in training, so only Kane and Sissoko missing with their long-term injuries. Dele is a doubt after Raheem Sterling stomped on his ankle Sunday. The Welshman's return will give Jose more options in defence. He certainly doesn't fancy Sessegnon at LB and Foyth anywhere in the defemce. We have seen that Tanganga can play anywhere in the back 4 - I would certainly prefer him to Aurier at RB, he is just too erratic defensively.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Vertonghen at left back and Tanganga on the right. I wouldn't expect Davies to start. Or maybe just stick with the same back line as last game, since there's no game this weekend. Is Gedson eligible to play? I know Bergwijn isn't.
With the Spurs victory over Man City, there is only 1 possible result...but I'll let @pookspur make the call.
Here are the teams: Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Tanganga, Dier, Winks, Ndombele, Sessegnon, Lucas, Son. Subs: Gazzaniga, Sanchez, Cirkin, Skipp, Gedson, Dele, Parrott. Southampton: Gunn, Ward-Prowse, Stephens, Bednarek, Bertrand, Hojbjerg, Romeu, Boufal, Redmond, Ings, Long. Subs: Lewis, Vokins, Vestergaard, Smallbone, Armstrong, Obafemi, Adams. Lo Celso and Lamela are out with injuries (is this the football version of load management?)
Looks like Spurs are playing a back 3, with Tanganga on the right, Toby in the middle and Jan on the left with Sessegnon and Aurier as wing-backs.
No surprise there, Redmond's shot is saved by Lloris,but Long taps in for 1-1, we have been battered for most of this half.
