Stoke Away - Carling Cup

Mr. Guappa

Team news: http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/articles/team-news-190911.html

Sandro and William Gallas could return to action in Tuesday night's Carling Cup third round tie at Stoke.

Neither player has featured so far this season.

Sandro suffered a knee injury on international duty with Brazil at the Copa America in the summer while William is on the way back from a calf problem that struck early in pre-season.

"I'm hoping William Gallas may be okay to come back, we'll see how he is after training this morning," reported Harry Redknapp at Spurs Lodge on Monday.

"Sandro is also on his way back and I may get an hour out of him tomorrow. It would be great if I could get those two back playing again.

"Other than that it will be one or two of the younger players who have played recently and done well and one or two of the seniors players who didn't feature on Sunday."

The manager said he was likely to make a changes from the team that was so impressive against Liverpool on Sunday, but insisted he was after a win at Stoke, nothing less.

"We want to stay in the competition, we want to win and go all the way if we can," he said.

"We could have Sandro and William Gallas back, Pav needs another game, van der Vaart is back, Gomes, Bassong, Corluka - that's not a bad team, is it?

"One or two of the youngsters will get another chance as well."

Michael Dawson, Danny Rose, Steven Pienaar, Tom Huddlestone, Aaron Lennon all remain sidelined.

As mentioned above I would expect a raft of changes for this game. Harry said last week that Gomes will play, King will be rested obviously. Having Sandro and Gallas back would be a great boost but I wouldn't be risking them if there was any doubt over their fitness, similarly with VDV. Kyle Walker will probably get a rest having played in Greece.

A team along these lines so:

Gomes
Charlie - Bassong - Gallas/Kaboul - BAE
Niko/Giovani - Sandro/Parker - Livermore - Townsend
Pavlyuchenko - VDV/Defoe/Kane

Kaboul and Benny are the only ones I'm particularily worried about the need to be wrapped in cotton wool glad to see the younger players getting a go though

No harm really.. only Kaboul and BAE of the regulars still on of those that started. VDV got an hour and Sandro 70 minutes. Another clean sheet which is great. Gallas played 90 mins in a friendly at Spurs Lodge today btw.

Mr. Guappa

Townsend on for Giovani now.

good Gallas got 90 mins alright. In fairness you are right about getting the younger lads a run out but really hope Kaboul and BAE come through ok. We are short on options and cover so need them avail.
