Wish this game was scheduled for Wednesday, as it would give us an additional day to recover and avoid overloading certain players with minutes.

Hugo
Sanchez - Dier - Davies
Doherty - Winks - PEH - Reguillon
Kulusevski - Kane - Bergwijn

We do have the luxury of using 5 subs and hopefully we can have a really effective 1st half and make changes in the 2nd.

Subs: Son, Sessegnon, Rodon, Austin, Scarlett, Romero, Royal, Devine, White​

Actually, I'll go with Sessegnon instead of Reguillon. Would be the 1st time in his Spurs career that he would have featured/played in 5 consecutive games for us. Give Sergio 20 minutes towards the end, since we can use 5 subs in this competition.

Sessegnon needs a run whilst he's got some momentum with him. Same could be said of Doherty plus against a lesser side we will need better attackers than defenders so he gets the nod over Emerson for me.

Lloris
Sanchez Dier Rodon
Doherty ---------------- Sessegnon
Winks---PEH
Kulusevski ------------ Bergwijn
Kane
Austin/Gollini, Romero, Davies, Emerson, Reguilon, White, Lucas/Devine, Son, Scarlett

Play our strongest line up, put the game to bed and utilise our 5 subs.

Boro despite losing go Barnsley will be well up for this game… don’t give them an inch by playing a weakened team.

Proper team management would be to start strong, kill them off and gradually replace our stars. Typical Spurs is to start weakened, chase the game, end up with extra time and scrape through or get beat = knackered first team players.

Yeah this has to be how we go. We don't play for another 6 days so plenty of rest and prep time afterwards.

Unchanged XI from Saturday, if possible. Boro will give us a good fight. We shouldn’t take this lightly and try to heavily rotate.

I still wouldn't risk any player whose fitness is in question here (i.e. Reguilon, Skipp, Lucas, Bentancur) even though Winks in a double pivot gives me nightmares.

We'll have 5 subs available for this match so would like to see us go hard out the gate and hopefully get some of the starters off early. Would be fantastic for White and Scarlett to get some minutes here.

———————Lloris
——Sánchez—Dier—Davies
Doherty—Winks—PEH—Reguilon
—Kulusevski—Kane—Bergwijn

I think we can stay strong while allowing Romero & Son a rest and giving Reguilon a chance to get some minutes in his legs.

After some consideration, this is probably the best approach. Same 11 and then use all 5 subs in the 2nd half, hopefully after we've put Boro to the sword. I'm sure motivation will be high for this game and then Conte can give the boys 2 days off to recover, if he needs to.

Did Conte talk about having to try Kulusevski and Bergwijn as wing backs pre Leeds?

I haven't been able to keep up-to-date the last week, but if he was thinking of trying them, then this would be the game.
