True. I think I’ll wait, at least, until England’s World Cup campaign is over.This game is 24 days away
The potential for overthinking on this thread is massive ???

I would but then Bryan will score a hat-trick against Brazil tonight and lead a resurgent Cameroon to the WC final and I'd have to change it....I see nobody is daft enough to actually name the starting XI.... they wouldn't dare.
What about if Pontus and Hickey are fit enough to start by then ?Same starting 11 as MC different bench with Pontus and maybe trevitt
Raja in?? still.Now everyone has finished their WC stint hopefully with no injury worries, I can't see any reason to change a team that Outplayed, Outclassed and Outscored City, Perhaps change the bench to include Hickey, Janson and Norgarrd if they are fit. ?
Raya probably won't play unless Spains 1st choice gets injured therefore he should return match fit and fully trained.Raja in?? still.
Simon was a bit dodgy in the last game ...Raya probably won't play unless Spains 1st choice gets injured therefore he should return match fit and fully trained.
Wouldnt be surprised if he was dropped for next gameSimon was a bit dodgy in the last game ...
..........a bit like most weeks then..............Yeah really just depends who is fit and who is not….
They all get back in for me if 100% fit and ready, nobody will have played for 4-5 weeks anyway so its not like they are any less match ready. I would never play Mads ahead of Hickey especially against the diving Richarleson or Son.Now everyone has finished their WC stint hopefully with no injury worries, I can't see any reason to change a team that Outplayed, Outclassed and Outscored City, Perhaps change the bench to include Hickey, Janson and Norgarrd if they are fit. ?
- It is entirely possible that we will be without Ivan Toney due to suspension.
lets fricking hope so ?They all get back in for me if 100% fit and ready, nobody will have played for 4-5 weeks anyway so its not like they are any less match ready. I would never play Mads ahead of Hickey especially against the diving Richarleson or Son.
I would be amazed if the whole investigation, appeals precess and ban was completed in less that 2 weeks with Xmas in-between. I reckon we are looking at 4-6 months before a ban judging on previous investigations.
How do you know Hickey is a doubt still 2 weeks left ?It may be a bit earlier but with England out of the WC I'd like to start thinking about this one....
- With Ajer injured, and Hickey a doubt, it seems Roerslev will continue at RB/RCB.
- The big decision at the back is whether or not to bring Jansson back in ahead of Mee. I have always said that the captain has to play, but I'm swaying towards Mee at the moment.
- Norgaard and Jensen are shoe-ins for the midfield.
- Who takes that third midfield sport alongside them is up for debate; Onyeka, Janelt and Dasilva - there is a case for all of them. I think I'd lean towards Onyeka given current form and the opposition. Baptiste is probably behind those three in the pecking order (if fit).
- Toney unless suspended (seems unlikely at this point) obviously plays. I would consider Mbeumo very likely to start too.
- The other wide position is trickier. Frank has bounced between Wissa, Canos, Lewis-Potter and Damsgaard a fair bit. I think Sergi is the most likely to put in the running off the ball so I will go for him.

Mbeumo Toney Canos
There is currently at least some doubt on his availability.How do you know Hickey is a doubt still 2 weeks left ?
He is back in training today as per Thomas frank so still 2 weeks to get ready for 26th ?There is currently at least some doubt on his availability.
depends if he's straight back into full training or not...He is back in training today as per Thomas frank so still 2 weeks to get ready for 26th ?
He is fit Nick. Played in the friendly on sat.Do we know how long KLP is out for ?
Good point …depends if he's straight back into full training or not...

Good point, swap him for Canos.No Wissa in the squad?
Would be my team but Onyeka doesn’t seem to have played in friendlies has he? Janelt instead of him otherwise.Raya

I am fairly sure it will be 3-5-2 so it really depends on Hickey:My team for Spurs.

I've assumed Ajer, Baptiste and Strakosha not available for the foreseeable but still a fairly strong bench regardless
Well spotted - yes take KLP out and replace Stevens on the bench with himThat's 12, take KLP out and I doubt it wont be much different.
is this the same Stevens on loan at Swansea?Well spotted - yes take KLP out and replace Stevens on the bench with him
Yes - we are going to recall him for this game onlyis this the same Stevens on loan at Swansea?
. Clearly the WC break has affected my brain somewhat with regards to our loanees What‘s happened to baptiste, he obviously had an injury before the break but haven’t read what was?I am fairly sure it will be 3-5-2 so it really depends on Hickey:

Not sure about us should be full strength but I assume they’ll be without lloris, Romero, richarlison , perisic and with any luck Kane.
