My team for tonight

Vorm, Dier, Fazio, Chiriches, Davies, Stambouli, Paulinio, Lennon, Ceballos, Townsend, Kane.

I'd give Lloris a rest due to recent injury concerns.

Play Dier tonight and save Naughton for Sunday and the same with Vertonghen, save him for the game against Newcastle.

I'd play Paulinho in a slightly deeper and see how does in his proper position and play Stambouli as the defensive shield.

As it is Europa League, the usual suspects should return, but I would do something revolutionary and play Lennon on the right and Townsend on the left, offering proper width and have the full backs playing a supportive role rather than attack in the final third all the time. The opposition are a young, attack minded team so I think our back line need to be solid. ( I know I've just contradicted myself with Chiriches in the team).

My curve ball would be Ceballos, he's looked good this season in the under 21s and development squads. I'd like to see him play with better players and see what he can do.

LIke Mason, he could be another gem from the academy, I remember a few years ago when one of the players was asked who's the best player he's played with, and this was a time when Modric and Bale were at Tottenham and the player (who's name I've forgotten) said Ceballos, so the boy has potential.

Upfront I'd have Kane, just for him to continue his recent fine form.

Sorry, I don't think your "curve ball" is in the Europa squad :(

Gutted as I thought that would be the perfect stage to give him a chance.

I'm surprised he didn't play on Monday against Hampton, I thought they were saving him for tonight. :(

Chiriches must play and redeem himself. Everybody deserves a second chance to make amends.
