They are lining up with 3 at the back, at least Townsend should have space in his blind alley ;).

He should get a lot of joy along with Chadli, he's rested and should put in a big performance. I just hope they all try and implement the press as well as Kane, Lamela, Dembele have been. Skeptical.

Benji is cool think he just taking bit longer to adjust to system physically, he's got the engine, we aren't necessarily thin right now and although he would be of use, best not to rush him if don't have to, no doubt hell be fine. I could also be completely wrong

Surprised Lloris is starting. Expected Vorm to start both legs, thus justifying Lloris to play the League Cup Final as he'd be more 'rested'.

@BenPearceSpurs: #thfc Likely to be a 3-5-1-1 system from Fiorentina. Spurs struggled with Liverpool's width when they played three at the back last week.

Those crazy Italians!

i had exactly the same thought. Throw him a bone for missing the final by keeping him as our europe keeper.

I'm concerned that Poch's made a compromise that he'll start Lloris in the EL to make up for Vorm being cup final goalie.

Hope not.

Hope not.

can look at it from the other way and say that if Poch considers a Europa first leg against Fiorentina as big enough to warrant the main man in goal, then Chelsea in a final is a done deal.

Very annoyed that only BT Sports 1 is on Virgin Anywhere, not BT Sports 2. This means I can't watch the match on my phone, the missus having monopolised the TV tonight for the Eastenders fest. Will have to listen on the radio.

Yeah there's no denying the press won't be as effective, especially on the right side, but it's a bit more aggressive for running at their limited back line. Hopefully that will at least compensate for the lack in press, as well as work in our favor offensively.
