Trippier starts but key Spurs men remain out of first XI

Kieran Trippier (£6.3m) is set for a tenth consecutive league start as Tottenham Hotspur visit Wolves this evening.

The right-back has been considered a rotation risk in the past but he has been ever-present since returning from the World Cup with Serge Aurier (£5.8m) largely consigned to the bench.

However, a large number of key Spurs men remain out of the first XI with Christian Eriksen (£9.2m) and Son Heung-min (£8.3m) on the bench for a third match in a row.

Dele Alli (£8.9m) is left out of the match day squad altogether, despite a comeback from injury in the League Cup midweek.

Juan Foyth, not in FPL yet, starts at centre-back with Davinson Sánchez (£5.8m) on the bench.

Meanwhile, hosts Wolves make one change to the side that lost at Brighton in Gameweek 10, with Adama Traore (£5.4m) dropping out for Ivan Cavaleiro (£5.3m).

Wolves XI: Patricio; Boly, Coady, Bennett; Jonny, Moutinho, Neves, Doherty; Caveleiro, Jimenez, Costa

Spurs XI: Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Foyth, Davies, Sissoko, Dembele, Winks, Lamela, Lucas, Kane.

    Raul looks at me from the 3rd spot on my bench and smiles knowingly.

    I nod back and wonder what might have been.

    Selling Jimenez to Arnie was not the best transfer but not the worst.
