I hope this gives Bissouma a chance to show what a good player he is. He was absolutely bossing games before we bought him. We must get the best out of him, and not let him be another player who joins us and then mysteriously declines and is farmed out after years on the bench.

Very sure Bissouma will be absolutely fine. Like you say he was top 10 CM’s in the league comfortably, if not top 5 last season

Just feels like already our WB threats are nullified with that. Doherty on his lesser favoured side and Royal. Hopefully the front three can have a good game.

Thanks @EastLondonYid , happy with that for most part, would usually prefer Davies over Sánchez but Conte must feel Ben not yet in good enough condition.

Great to have option of Ivan on bench, and agree @13VanDerBale13 , could easily see him coming on for Emerson after an hour as our first change.

Of the WC lads, I would assume PEH, Dier and Sonny will surely start. Hopefully their fitness levels are up to Conte’s expectations.

Expect to see Harry and Perisic on the bench.

Forester

Tanganga / Dier / Lenglet

Emerson / Bissouma / PEH / Doc

Kulu / Sonny / Bryan

If Skippy is fit again, I think he will start ahead of PEH. He was out against Nice due to illness, yes?

Skipp and Spence both missed that match due to illness.
Son had been ill, so hopefully all 3 are well and fit to play today

BBC: "Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has suggested he will only select players who were not involved in the World Cup for his side's Boxing Day match at Brentford".

Could be mind games, could be that he feels that if players not involved in the WC have worked hard over the last month then they deserve a chance?
Or maybe he meant the World Cup Final (and 3rd/4th playoff)

Before the break I thougt Conte looked a little despondent with each team that played. Injuries were a factor and some poor form. Hopefully whoever plays today, we get back to winning ways without conceding too many goals. We will be up against it today so will be difficult.

As above …Kane always play..
Forster
Sanchez Dier Lenglet
Emerson Hojbjerg Bissouma Doherty

Right side of royal and Sanchez doesn’t fill me with much confidence, let’s hope they step up
