Tottenham To Use Roberto Soldado As Bait In Bid For La Liga Goal Machine.
Tottenham Hotspur host Burnley in an FA Cup replay at White Hart Lane tonight.
If Spurs win, they will earn a fourth round clash with Leicester City – increasing their January fixture list to nine games.
Considering their hectic schedule, Mauricio Pochettino is expected to rotate his squad.
Here’s how we reckon Pochettino’s side will lineup:
GK: Michel Vorm
Vorm has played every minute of Tottenham’s four domestic cup games so far this season.
RB: Eric Dier
DeAndre Yediln is ineligible and Kyle Walker is expected to be rested. Dier is fully fit.
LB: Ben Davies
Rose seems to have won the title of Pochettino’s Premier League left-back – for now – so Davies should be on cup duty.
CBs: Vlad Chiriches and Younes Kaboul
Jan Vertonghen and Federico Fazio have started Tottenham’s last 12 domestic games together, with Pochettino keen to establish some consistency. However, surely that run will have to be broken at some point to give one or both of them a rest, so Chiriches and club captain Kaboul may well feature tonight.
CMs: Benjamin Stambouli and Mousa Dembele
Ryan Mason is still injured and Nabil Bentaleb remains on international duty, so Dembele and Stambouli should continue, although Etienne Capoue could get a game.
AM: Aaron Lennon
Tottenham’s longest serving player has not started a game since early December, but he is well in the mix for tonight.
AM: Roberto Soldado
Soldado has been very shaky in front of goal this season, but his general link-up play has been tidy. As a result, Pocettino may opt to play him in the number 10 role. Erik Lamela would have been a prime contender for this position, but he is injured, while Christian Eriksen should be rested.
AM: Paulinho
The Brazilian played the full 90 minutes at Turf Moor in a conventional midfield role. He failed to shine, but he may be given another opportunity in a more advanced position.
ST: Emmanuel Adebayor
Harry Kane needs a rest and Spurs don’t have too many players capable of replacing the in-form Englishman. Adebayor has the talent and he has something to prove too. This could be a big moment in his Tottenham career.
