Hey, Tottenham Hotspur. These early Thursday matches aren't cool. Instead of staring at a clock wondering when the game was going to come around, this completely snuck up on literally the entire staff. We looked at a clock and went OH CRAP GAME IN 15 MINUTES. So, sorry. Here are the lineups.
#THFC team: Lloris (c); Naughton, Dier, Vertonghen, Davies; Bentaleb, Paulinho; Holtby, Townsend, Kane; Soldado. #COYS

#THFC subs: Friedel, Rose, Dawson, Chadli, Dembele, Sandro, Lamela. #COYS

I'm disappointed with the lack of Ryan Fredericks in the team at all, since I'd rather play him over the weekend than a converted CB, but I'll live. I'm very happy to see Roberto Soldado get a run-out, since I'd rather we not consider him money flushed down the toilet already. I am concerned at the utter lack of a DM.
Kickoff is at 5 p.m. UK, 12 p.m. ET. You can catch it on BBC Radio in the UK and beIN Sports Connect in the US and Canada lol jk the internet lied.
