GK – Hugo Lloris
An easy decision – Lloris firmly remains the club’s no.1.
RB – Kyle Walker
If the slight injury suffered in the League Cup final isn’t too serious, the right-back should continue his run of Premier League starts.
CB – Eric Dier
Federico Fazio is still struggling to adapt to the Premier League after arriving in August, with Dier the preferred partner to Jan Vertonghen.
CB – Jan Vertonghen
Often caught out at the back, but is still the best central defender the club have to offer.
LB – Ben Davies
Pochettino tends to rotate the left-back position, and with Danny Rose getting the nod at Wembley, Davies could start against his boyhood club.
CM – Nabil Bentaleb
Surely one of the first names on the team-sheet – the youngster is a driving force in central midfield.
CM – Ryan Mason
Another first of the team-sheet, Mason is beginning to establish himself alongside Bentaleb.
RM – Erik Lamela
Missed out on a place in the starting line-up for the Capital One Cup final, yet could be brought in, after Andros Towsend offered next to nothing on Sunday.
AM – Moussa Dembele
Pochettino has moved Dembele into a no.10 role, giving the midfielder a new lease of life on the pitch, and after also missing out on a start at Wembley, will be eager to impress.
LM – Christian Eriksen
Spurs’ second highest scorer this term – and netted the winner against Swansea earlier this season.
ST – Harry Kane
22 goals in all competitions in a signature season for the striker – need we say more?
