Time to find your Rosary beads and get your priest on the phone. Premier Sports 1 have the broadcasting rights for this one, and after the shambolic mess they delivered instead of last week’s matches involving Spurs in Bulgaria and Glasgow Rangers in Greece, it remains uncertain is we’ll be able to watch this tie via legitimate means. Kick off is 7pm.
Gareth Bale and Sergio Reguilón won’t feature, so that’s that answered. I would expect Joe Hart to be in goal, and Dele Alli to start. This is a great opportunity for Dele to make his mark, against nondescript opposition, but will he take it, or will we see more shin-pad hurling?
Kane is a shoo-in, as it is my understanding that Mourinho is on a campaign for another designated striker with Levy and it is impossible to believe the Portuguese will give our illustrious CEO even half an opportunity to say, ‘well you managed well enough against so-and-so’.
Plausible XI to follow!
