It is only three days since we faced Manchester City at Wembley in the FA Cup final, but a quick turnaround means we have another important game on Tuesday evening as we host Spurs in a crucial game for our European ambitions and our opponents’ fight against relegation.
It looks like the Blues will revert to a back four at the Bridge, as defenders Levi Colwill, Malo Gusto and Reece James are not in tonight’s starting line-up. Robert Sanchez will be between the post, with Josh Acheampong coming into the defence alongside Wesley Fofana, Jorrel Hato and Marc Cucurella.
Andrey Santos returns in midfield with Moises Caicedo, while Enzo Fernandez captains the side. Pedro Neto comes into the side on the flank, with Cole Palmer on the other wing, behind striker Liam Delap, who replaces Joao Pedro.
Tottenham are unchanged from the team which drew 1-1 with Leeds United in their last match.
