Match Tottenham Hotspur vs Woolwich Sunday 22nd Feb 16:30

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Imagine being Igor Tudor and your first match as a manager is a North London Derby! Massive
I bet he's relishing it. It's a bit like being in goal for penalties. No one expects you to save it, but we all know there's a chance. And if you do, you're a hero. I reckon we've got better than the 1-in-5 chance, though. 50-50.

The only thing that works against him is he's the Sam Allardyce of European football. So he's fully expected to save us from the drop.
 
Team news….

Dominic Solanke trained today after a slight issue in the week
Igor Tudor says he is not expecting any current absentees back for the north London derby
 
Could have been 14 if we hadn't been so desperate to sell Johnson. We've never actually bought a player that fast before, so why the rush to sell with so many injuries?!
 
Means the team picks itself bar 1/2 positions

Vicario

Gray (Spence) drag Palhinha VDV Spence (Sousa)

Gallagher Sarr Xavi

Solanke RKM

*Gray might play instead of Sarr if he opts for Sousa

When asked about whether Dominic Solanke would be available, Tudor added: "Probably no, Solanke has some problem with his throat but he made two days training.

Maybe their first meeting in training didn't go as planned...

Arteta saying scum have no further injury issues from wed meaning Saka and Trossard are ok (shock horror)

AND there’s a good chance Odegard and Havertz might be back

Of fucking course..
 
I’ve not looked forward to a game for a while but I’m buzzing for this. I think the atmosphere will be cracking and with Woolwich fucking up at Wolves will just add to it. I’m going to spend a good bit of the game abusing lego head just for the fun of it 😂
 
Squad seems to be :

GK - Vicario, Kinsky, Austin
DF - Gray (as 4th defender), Dragusin, van de Ven (c), Spence, (and Souza)
Mid - Sarr, Bissouma, Palhinha, Gallagher
FWD's - Kolo Muani, Tel, Solanke, Simons

So 12 fit first team outfield players plus less experienced Souza and a GK

Bench will include a few youngsters such as Rowswell, Byfield, Olusesi, Williams-Barnett, T Thompson and/or Wilson.


Some injured players likely back in next week - likely to include Richarlison, Porro I'd imagine
