Fresh off their Europa League match in Turkey, Tottenham Hotspur are once again forced to endure grueling travel to visit an obscure nation full of teams nobody has ever heard of. Hopefully the result will work out better this time around.
The big news today is the return of Kyle Walker for his first league start of the season. Spurs have struggled so far this season with Walker's absence, and his return is a huge boost. Basically all of Spurs' problems should be solved and the team should go on to win the league.
A pretty clear picture of Pochettino's first choice eleven is starting to emerge, and the rest of the team is largely as expected.

Prodigal son Tom Carroll cannot feature against his parent club, but Gylfi Sigurdsson will almost surely bring the heartbreak because #narrative. But it doesn't matter, because this is the game when Harry Kane finally unleashes his inner Leo Messi on the Premier League and begins his conquest of world football.
