Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Chelsea

4,447 Comments
Share

After Aaron Mooy fired Huddersfield to victory over Newcastle, we make our way to Wembley as Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea go head-to-head in Sunday’s final fixture.

A victory for Spurs today would set a new club record of 15 successive home league wins, yet their record in competitive matches at Wembley – two wins, one draw and seven losses – is anything but convincing.

Subject to over 164,000 transfers out last week, Harry Kane has now gone 11 Premier League matches in August without finding the net.

Yet Kane was still the second most captained player for Gameweek 2, handed the armband by 526,000+ FPL managers as he looks to recover from last Sunday’s blank at Newcastle.

Both Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli plundered the points at St James’ Park to put Kane in the shade.

They also combined for both goals in the corresponding fixture last season, with Eriksen supplying assists for Alli’s pair of strikes in a 2-0 home win over the champions.

For Chelsea, Alvaro Morata is handed his first start after emerging from the bench to bag a goal and assist in last week’s shock home loss to Burnley.

But there’s no Eden Hazard as he fails to recover from an ankle injury in time for the Wembley encounter.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Feel like I need to change Iwobi & Ritchie urgently but not sure who too. Also underwhelmed by Firmino & possibly Kane although he does have some decent fixtures coming up.

      Foster
      Bertrand / Luiz / Stephens
      Mkhitaryan / De Bruyne / Ritchie / Iwobi
      Kane / Lukaku / Firmino

      Elliot / Suttner / Carroll / Marriappa

      Kompany, KDB, Zaha and Fraser >> Alonso, Micky, Pogba and Mooy -8

      Basically biggest concern out is KDB and maybe Kompany. Not sure on doubling united mids with lukaku but I can only afford up to 8.2 mid and they are the best?

        Gonna be a painful international break if it doesn't pay off.

        Would you not be tempted by just KDB to Mkhi, Kompany to Alonso.

        To be honest though, I'm expecting a lot from Kompany and KDB at Bournemouth.

          He's not even played two games yet and was at the centre of everything for City versus Brighton. Was unlucky not to get an assist and a goal.

          It's very, very knee-jerky because you're basically chasing points from a previous game week.

          What's the point in planning a team if you're going to ignore your tactics just to chase points? It's a poor strategy.

          This year everyone seems to be flocking towards ANY player that does anything, regardless of quality and whether or not they'll actually do it again.

          Xhaka prime example. What did he do against Stoke? Nothing, and probably won't do much for the rest of the season.

          Because they are. If you afford 8.2 I assume you afford 8.4 so let Mhki rise tonight watch City tomorrow and see what you think then?
          Have you Lukaku if you have then 3 utd attack is too much.

        Trippier at 5.3 could be a bargain. Just like Alonso 5.9 last season.

        Good thing is that Alonso has a combined total of 16 now since he scored zero last week so will be placed 6th on defenders list. Think many wild carding casuals may not even notice him in the first place.

            Mid 20s as a guess.

          Kane is the season keeper for me. Maybe we could of listened to the 'slow start' chat but at the end of the season, he will either be very close or will be top scorer and i want him in your team for that.
