    Is this correct bench calls? Is Maddison starting? Guessing Gvardiol is benched

    Onana
    Trippier, Estu, Botman
    Saka, Bruno, Mbuemo, Sterling
    Haaland, Alvarez, Morris

    Turner: Maddison, Gvardiol,Baldock

      I'd bench Sterling with Chelsea not scoring goals, rather than Maddison with Spurs so attacking.
