Plausible XI v Foxes

The formation I opted for last time out resembled a Christmas Tree, so to acknowledge the subtle adjustment, this game is a homage to one of those retro ice lollies. 

Injuries abound, but as far as starting XIs go, this is no poor relation.

The biggest problem Mauricio Pochettino is likely to face is what happens if he needs to use his substitutes. 

If things aren’t going well, he might consider one of the those ‘fancy Dan’ double substitute things like the Arsenal boss did. 

9th placed City are unbeaten in 7, however they will be without Jamie Vardy.  

Spurs are up and down like the Assyrian Empire. 

Spurs will be minus Juan Foyth (groin), Kieran Trippier (groin), Mousa Dembele (ankle), Erik Lamela (thigh), Davinson Sanchez (hamstring) and Victor Wanyama (knee). 

Leicester City are 14/5, Spurs are 13/5 and it’s 20/21 for the draw. 

Erik Lamela to be unleashed and get the last goal of the game is my 15/2 nap. 

Speaking of naps, we’re playing one of these new weirdo Saturday night kick offs (1954hrs), so pace yourself on the mulled wine this afternoon or you could wake up to find yourself watching the highlights…
