I’d be surprised if Doherty didn’t start. I think Conte’s about done with Royal for the time being, at least in any situation where we need a goal.I think Doherty and Bergwijn should both get starts. Confidence is a big thing.
If we properly go at them from the off and avoid all that timid shit in the cup games, they can be got at. Win or lose, 'I'd prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around'.
I'm not entirely sure they are, pound for pound. What they do have, is no matter how shite they may be at any given time, is a mentality that they must up their game against Spurs, for whatever reason.The fly in the ointment here is that they are better than us. If we have Dier and Romero back we can make it very hard for them though.

OK, it's late so nobody's here.After the Leicester match with 3 CM's, I don't see Conte going back to the 2 CM's we unsuccessfully tried against Chelsea in both Carabou Cup legs.
With Doherty's performance in the 2nd half at RWB I think he might be preferred to Royal who wasn't playing well. Doherty did well going forward to put in crosses - and Tanganga covered him by moving from RCB to RB.
And I wonder if Bergwijn will rotate with Moura to give more energy in the attack with Moura able to come on off the bench during 2nd half at some stage
Lloris
Tanganga (*} , Sanchez, Davies
Doherty, Skipp, Winks, Hojbjerg, Reguilon
Bergwijn, Kane
Subs : Gollinin, Royal, Lo Celso, White, Moura, Gil, Scarlett
Not selected : Rodon, Sessegnon, Ndombele, Dele, Son (injured)
* If Dier or Romero are fit, it may be one of them replaces Tanganga ? Might re-jig the bench if that happens.
