Have your say below by leaving your Spurs starting eleven.

Here’s what we have come up with:-

Gomes

Hutton – Bassong – King – Assou Ekotto

Lennon – Palacios – Keane – Modric

  4. Gomes
    Hutton – King – Bassong – BAE
    Lennon – Palacios – Modric – Bale
    Defoe – Pav

    Don’t like keane in the midfeild role, and want bale to be given a go on the wing for a period. Think Bale and BAE could work well together. Between Pav and Crouch its tight but Pav wins it for me.

  5. Corluka instead of hutton…. rightback

    jenas instaed of keane….

    pav and defoe start…..early goals!

    half time ? final 15? crouch new player so 2nd choice to pav
    but …..in set plays and holding player in 2nd half! ,keane is sharp now so he is the only maybe…. cement midfield whatever must close liverpool passing game near half way line

    modric move in 2nd half to upset their marking him out of game etc as he is key player

    palacios close gerrard all the time..

    keane would be great in midfiel but this is liverpool!…. and he needs games to settle in midfeild

  6. Gomes

    Corluka King Bassong Ekotto

    Lennon Palacios Modric O’Hara

    Keane Crouch

    1) Cudicini
    2) Naughton
    3) Huddlestone
    4) Chimbonda
    5) Jenas
    6) Defoe
    7) Pavlyuchenko

  7. Okay I know most won’t agree with this but I think it is a golden lineup!

    Gomes

    Corluka, Bassong(only because Woodgate is injured), King, BAE

    Palacious, Huddlestone

    Lennon, Modric, Dos Santos

    Crouch or Pav

  11. Gomes,
    Corluka. King, Bassong, Ekotto
    Lennon, Palacioa, Huddlestone, Modric,
    Pav, Defoe.

    Wouldn’t touch Hutton with a bargepole.
    Keane by far the poorest of our forwards so why play him where he doesn’t have a clue, ie in midfield – crazy

  12. Gomes
    Naughton
    King
    Bassong
    Assou Ekotto
    Lennon
    Palacios
    O’Hara
    Modric
    Crouch
    Keane

    SUBS
    Defoe
    Pavlychenko
    Huddlestone
    Corluka
    Hutton
    Jenas
    Cudicini

  15. Gomes
    Corluka,Bassong,King,Assou-Ekotto
    Lennon,Jenas,Palacios,Modric

    Huddlestone
    Bentley
    Crouch
    Pavlyuchenko

  18. Mr Bobbins has my tip for starting line up, although I would like to see Gio get a start on left Modric to play in middle in a diamond like Chelski are going to play Wilson holding.

  19. This would be my first half team Gomes Corluka King Huddlestone Bassong middle Lennon moderic palacios keane defoe pav second half Ohara for Keane hutton for hudds both on 80 mins and in the away Dressing room i would have Uk sport and paddy kenny looking for dodgy energy after all they are called the duracell bunnies .

  20. Gomez
    Corluka Bassong King(c) Assou-Ekotto

    Lennon Palacios Modric

    Keane

    Defoe Crouch

    Play with a diamond formation with Keane at the front of the diamond and Palacios in the holding role.

  21. My team:
    Gomes
    Naughton – Bassong – King- Assou Ekotto

    Lennon – Palacios – Huddlestone – Modric

    Defoe – Crouch

  24. gomes
    hutton – king – bassong – BAE
    lennon – palacious – modric – dos santos
    pavlyuchenko – defoe

    subs:- cudiccinin – corluka – naughton – huddlestone – ohara – jenas – crouch

  25. I agree with Mr Bobbins, although I would love to see a decent left wing and then play modric in the middle instead of jenas.

  27. Ithink we need pass the ball and mix things up,if we keep bentley & lennon next to each other in midfield they can swap wings or play in a central role.to be honest I think we should play lennon just behind the 2 strikers in a central role,like how mcmannaman should play for liverpool in the 90’s,it would give him more space to work his creativity.I also think we should give bale,dos santos & bentley a chance this season & get rid of jennas he is the weakest link in the side.

    palacios
    modric
    bale
    pav
    defoe

    how can so many of ye doubt corluka, he is as dependable as they come, and pav has to be given a chance

  33. Gomes

    Hutton Bassong King BAE

    Lennon Palacios Modric Bentley

    Keane Defoe

    Lennon and Bentley are great wingers

    Keane should always be up front with defoe and then eventually one of them getting subbed out for crouch or pav

  36. The article team will definitely start.

    Unless Levy reads Newsnow and picked up on PETROV wanting out from City.

    It would be the PERFECT buy.

  37. Cudicini
    Corluka King Bassong BAE
    Lennon Jenas Palacios Modric
    Defoe Crouch

    2nd half
    70′ Jenas – Bale (Bale going out wide modric playing centeral)
    75′ Crouch – Pav (straight swap)
    80′ Bassong – Naughton (Corluka playing centeral and Naughton going out right)

    If all goes well we come away with a 2-0 score line :p

  41. GOMES

    Hutton King BASSONG BAE

    PALACIOS HUDDLESTONE
    LENNON MODRIC

    PAVLYUCHENKO DEFOE

    If Pav is not up to scratch, swap him for Crouch but I think Pav deserves to start – Crouch has only had half a pre-season game and may not be as match-fit, plus Pav is on form at the moment.

    Hopefully Bostock will get some game time too, especially if Huddlestone is not on it!

  43. Mr Bobbins is spot on, a lot of teams listed here are too lightweight, Hutton in tough loosing game against Norway.

  44. Gomes
    Corluka King Bassong BAE
    Lennon Palacios Jenas Modric
    Pav Defoe

    No way the lanky one should start ahead of Pav. Crouch will lead to route one football.

    Keane in midfield is madness

  45. Corluka instead of Hutton in defence
    Huddlestone instead of Jenas in midfield
    As strikers, I would start with Crouch and Keane

  49. Gomes
    Naughton
    King
    Bassong
    BAE
    Lennon
    Pal
    Hudd
    Modric
    Defoe
    Crouch

    Has everything speed on the wing and strengh in the middle, but I dont think Harry will see it that way, but I hope he does.

  51. Gomes

    Corluka Bassong King BAE

    Palacios
    Bentley Lennon
    Modric

    Pavs Defoe

    1.Cudicini
    2.Hutton
    3.Bale
    4.GDS
    5.Hudds
    6.Keane
    7.Crouch

  54. Keane is such an obvious choice now as partner for Palacios,dont need viera or anyone else,he is perfect for that role, Pav n Defoe for me ,really would love to see Pavster get more n more confidence,he scores some awesome goals,crouch on for last half hr!bye bye jenas

  61. Marc C and Cam Yid have it right barring injuries…. Keane in CM? against Liverpool? are you all insane?

    Charlie seems to link up well with lennon, so would have him at RB when he isnt deputising at CB.

    Harry isnt going to do anything special unless injuries force him to.

  65. I think Redknapp will be cautious this Sunday only because we always get off to a bad start and this will be in the back of his mind. So i’ll give you two teams, one that i expect him to play and another i’d love him to play (but he won’t).

    He aint brave enough to drop Keane and Defoe is our number 1 man so hes the only sure starter, for some reason just like every other manager he loves Jenas???? I would love him to go with:

    GOMES
    NAUGHTON KING BASSONG BAE
    LENNON MODRIC PALACIOS KEANE
    DEFOE CROUCH
