Tottenham Hotspur fans will be desperate to beat London rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge to send a message to their rivals. Antonio Conte has named his side to take on the Blues, with the fans questioning what his thinking is.

He’s decided to play ‘six at the back‘, including Japhet Tanganga, a call that has left the fans fuming.

Will Spurs sign anyone this January?

Yes

Yes

No

No

As always, the team was announced 60 minutes prior to kick off, with the official Spurs Twitter account Tweeting out the team news, the fans flocking to the comments to share their anger on the lineup, wishing the real team news was yet to be released.

What the Spurs fans said

“Postpone it.” @thespursweb

“This is gonna be interesting hahahaha.” @xellavivian

“Tanganga gross.” @Gijokeeee

“This is gonna be a long day.” @lleenaaahh

“Omg it’s actually 6 at the back.” @THFC_fan7

“Now share the real lineup.” @larsthfc

It’s clear to see how the Spurs fans are feeling, evidently worried about Tanganga and the system Conte is going to deploy in what is one of their biggest games of the season.

Who wrote 'Hometown Glory' about their love for Spurs?

This game could be a huge day for Conte’s side in the hunt for Champions League football this season, with the need for a result magnified by Manchester United’s last gasp win against West Ham United yesterday.

Spurs are just two points behind fourth placed Manchester United, but do have three games in hand. A win today sees them take fourth place with two games in hand still on the Old Trafford outfit.

They come into today’s game in a great position, buoyed by their dramatic win against Leicester in midweek.
