Here is how CaughtOffside thinks Spurs will lineup at White Hart Lane.
GK – Michel Vorm
With it being the cup we expect Pochettino to give his backup goalkeeper another outing, especially when Vorm will be called upon in their next Europa League outing next week as well due to a suspension to Hugo Lloris.
RB – Kyle Naughton
After three weeks out with an ankle injury the full-back is fit to play against once more and should come in to replace Eric Dier.
CB – Federico Fazio
Fazio is also back in contention for a place in the starting XI and should take captain Younes Kaboul’s place with the Frenchman in need of a rest.
CB – Jan Vertonghen
The Belgium international is yet to convince Pochettino of his credentials and this could be the ideal opportunity to show the Argentine what he is capable of.
LB – Ben Davies
Danny Rose has established himself as first choice left-back at the Lane, but Davies is an up and coming youngster and could well impress against the Seagulls.
