Tottenham face Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League on Thursday evening, and Spurs have every right to fancy their chances against the Croatian outfit.
Indeed, Tottenham head into this match as favourites, but this game is by no means a foregone conclusion, with Jose Mourinho claiming that he’s still going to put out a strong side for this one.
Indeed, Mourinho has confirmed that there will be changes in the Spurs XI compared to the one that started against Crystal Palace, but he’s also said that they will still put out a strong team.
With that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting Spurs’ starting XI for this one.
We think that Mourinho will rotate heavily for this one, making a mammoth eight changes.
This is still a strong XI, filled with players with plenty of experience of playing at the top level, but we thing that the gaffer will have one eye on this weekend’s north London derby, opting to rest a number of stars with that game in mind.
Joe Hart comes in between the sticks, while three of the back four who started against Crystal Palace miss out here.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg retains his spot in the midfield, but he’s partnered by Moussa Sissoko for this one, while Dele Alli and Erik Lamela come in for Lucas and Gareth Bale.
Heung-Min Son is probably the biggest name in this XI, while Carlos Vinicius will be hoping to continue his good record in this competition.
