Predicted Tottenham Hotspur XI To Face Chelsea On New Year’s Day: Nabil Bentaleb To Return After Illness Absence

Posted by

AM: Harry Kane

Kane has started Tottenham’s last four games as a lone striker, but he has proven that he is equally – if not more – effective in the number 10 position. Nacer Chadli was underwhelming against United, so the Belgian could be dropped, creating a space for Kane to drop deeper.

AM: Christian Eriksen

Eriksen is Tottenham’s playmaker, so he will start for sure, possibly moving out wide to accommodate Kane in a central attacking midfield role.

ST: Roberto Soldado

Emmanuel Adebayor could well have played his last game for Spurs, but fellow striker Soldado most certainly has not. The Spaniard has been working extremely hard in training and he could be rewarded with his first start in five games.
