Reunion for Spurs’ attacking trio as Chelsea visit Wembley

Harry Kane (£12.3m) is set to play with both Christian Eriksen (£9.2m) and Dele Alli (£8.9m) in the Spurs’ starting line-up for the first time since Gameweek 4.

The talismanic striker has been considered out of sorts this season but that particular statistic just goes to prove how long it has been since Spurs’ attack has been at its best.

However, Mauricio Pochettino probably would have preferred a different fixture to get the trio back together as they face a Chelsea side still in good form.

Maurizio Sarri has named an unchanged side for Gameweek 13 with Mateo Kovacic (£5.9m) coming through an injury doubt to start ahead of Ross Barkley (£5.9m) for a second Premier League match in a row.

Eden Hazard (£11.2m) will be looking to punish those that triggered a price-fall on Friday night as he and fellow wide-man Willian (£7.4m) go up against Serge Aurier (£5.8m). The Ivory Coast international is making his first league start since Gameweek 1 after Kieran Trippier (£6.2m) was ruled out with injury.

Juan Foyth (£5.0m) also starts a third match in a row at centre-back.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR XI: Lloris, Aurier, Foyth, Alderweireld, Davies, Sissoko, Dier, Eriksen, Son, Alli, Kane

CHELSEA XI: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso; Kovacic, Kante, Jorginho; Willian, Morata, Hazard

    Makes you wonder where this Spurs team has been all season

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 9 Years

      injured?

    2. Firmino
      • 9 Years

      World Cup fatigue

      Well, Eriksen & Allinhave missed a fair bit of it.

    4. Rainer

      World Cup took the biggest toll on Spurs.

      Haven't had their 1st choice front 4 on the pitch much (even at all?).

      30 points from 13 is brilliant. It's just that 33 is exceptional and 35 is elite.

      1. SAUCY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        True. I mean this attacking scoring manner

    6. Revival

      Don't worry, Arsenal will put them back in their place next Sundayb

    Everyone sell Alonso and Hazard!!!

    1. Limbo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Hazard -> Sterling ambulance chasers

  4. Ghost Gooner
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Haz false 9?

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      False player more like, under my ownership anyway...

      Uhhh... Wrong image? 😐

  6. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 12 Years

    Alonso to get booked now and Chelsea to concede a fourth for a -1.

  7. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Son deserved that goal. The rest during IB has been great for him it seems. His season is only starting now.

  8. Dakers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Morata deservedly off. Hope that spells Haz and Alonso goals

  9. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Morata didn't make 60min... You gotta laugh

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      I'll laugh when we put him on loan.

  10. tm245
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Just let Alonso run free so the rest of the team feel compelled to cover for him and defend.

  11. ZeBestee
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Son now well and back on the radar. Arsenal next.

  12. Chucky
    • 10 Years

    • 10 Years

  15. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Multiple Spurs bandwagons rolling up.
    Kane - Son/Alli/Eriksen - Trippier/Alderweireld/Bavies

    Take your picks before Salah/Haz/Kun stocks plummet

  16. Dakers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    I can do Salah Diangana to Sane Son...

  17. Steinburg FC
    • 10 Years

  18. RamaJama

    Sell Hazard before Fulham?

    1. el polako
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      No way.
      Patience will.be rewarded.

  19. AzzaroMax99
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Right now, Alonso isn't worth 2 mil more then Luiz.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Have you seen how Luiz has played today?

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        And Alonso is better?

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          Yep.

  20. goriuanx
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Last chance saloon for Hazard next week.

    1. Dakers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      indeed

    2. EgyptianKing
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Exactly

  21. N00B
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    I had to choose between Alonso or Digne as Mendy's replacement. Ffs, Alonso! 🙁

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Its 1 week where fixtute obvs favoured digne... alonso should outscore in length but if it was for short term... stupid decision

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      You obviously weren't looking short-term (this fixture) when you brought in Alonso, c'mon mate.

    3. Superflymonk
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Funny you say that, for me it was a close call between Walker and Alonso. Almost went Alonso because of the Fulham game and ownership, but then remembered how good citeh are.

  22. The Mighty Hippo

    I'm glad that I still have my wc intact. It feels as though the template is about to be smashed soon.

    1. Rainer
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      GW15 falling perfectly for those who still have their WC.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Im thinking 16

      2. Pacer.
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Tbh fine for people without also. 2/3 of template holding so a mini WC should see those without fine to capitalise

    2. Superflymonk
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Soon? Lol managers are picking up the pieces. If -4 was the new 0 this week -8 will be the new zero for gw 14 lots of rush to get city mids and spurs assets

  23. Jimmy Boy
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Choice was between Hazard or Sterling two weeks ago. He's let me down yet again.

  24. el polako
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    If Doherty dosent return 10+ points tomorrow I will cry like Mane.

  25. Tsparkes10
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Defo wildcarding in gw 16. Sterling , Kane, Rash, Wilson and few others in my mind atm

  26. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Pity Hazard ➡️ Sterling still leaves me short of Kun ➡️ Kane.

  27. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Hazard to Sterling is the easy choice.

  28. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Alonso should have scored that

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      You're asking a lot there.

  29. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Mane to Sterling FT? Yes or no?

  30. goriuanx
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    As good Jorginho was for Sarri at Napoli, he's come at the expense of Chelsea's most important player.

    Kante seems to be wasted in this new box to box slash advanced role.

    1. Rash
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      I agree
