Biggest squad depth advantage Villa got over Spurs is at centre back, which also is an issue with Romero suspended for three games and van der Ven obviously out for a while. It's where Spurs fans demand strengthening in January and was upset about at transfer deadline. Club made the decision to let Davinson Sanchez go even if he clearly was needed as a squad player. Faith being put in two England U18 CBs Ashley Phillips and Alfie Dorrington. Lot of talk about Spurs avoiding injuries, however we went into the season with Bentancur, Lo Celso, Sessegnon and Bryan out. Perisic out for the season early on while looking very strong and important. Solomon as well. A lot of the players that can play out left. Maddison, Son and Richarlison playing with issues and having to be managed. Aston Villa Tottenham Hotspur MARTINEZ VICARIO OLSEN FORSTER ?

Surely back three - Walker, Dier, Maguire With Saka as wing back.

Also think this jumping back and forward between a back 4 and a 3 is madness. National teams have very little time together to shape the team, stick with a formation and keep it over time.

Think the idea is for South American teams to compete in Europa, not that UEFA teams are to travel over there. Unfair for their fans, and bit of a mess. But can see why their FA would like it. Would probably lead to them playing additional games with just players from home leagues as well to give local games.

Chelsea were so dependent on Lukaku being their star performer, when he turned into a flop their title chase was pretty much over.

Dele was free transfer initially, 10m after 20 games. 40m if he's an absolute success for them. Question now is probably whether Spurs get a cut of a transfer in the summer.

Player pulled out because he got abuse from Spurs fans on social media. He's an Arsenal fan who had among other Spurs negativity posted derogatory tweets about Kane. Just show how childish tweets can come back and haunt you.

Already refinanced and added to the long term stadium debt, as long as people will be allowed back to watch sport and entertainment then there's no issue with Spurs' finances.

Fulham got a chance, they are far better now than they were early on this season. Struggle for wins, but play well and went 5 games unbeaten before they met Chelsea and United. Their three next games are Brighton WBA and Burnley.

It can of course be postponed, but then most likely need to be played in august at the earliest. We're at a point where if they continue to postpone games then the league won't be finished in time for the euros. Decision to be made. Either teams play with what they got, or they have to look at a similar solution as last season.

Think they'll have to sack Arteta and get someone more pragmatic in to save their Premier League status. Long term however, they also need to get rid of almost all of their high profiled players. It's an attitude issue more than a talent one.

They use a scan of the wrist. It's apparently very accurate.

Again, he's a CB for his club and will never be a midfielder again.

Dier is a centre back now, probably won't play in midfield again. I'd go with Henderson; TAA, Dier, Mings, Gomez; Rice, Ward-Prowse, Mount; Sterling, Kane, Sancho.
