Spurs travel to Loftus Road tomorrow aiming to keep in the hunt for Champions league qualification , with the lilywhites 6 points below 4th placed Manchester United. However , a win in this game (our game in hand) will put us right back in the race, although a top four finish will be difficult for sure.
Relegation threatened QPR will attempt to cause an upset in the London derby as they will be desperate for points to fuel their survival attempt , but with Mauricio Pochettino reporting a fully fit squad ahead off tomorrow’s game , this is the sort of game Spurs need to be winning if they are serious about getting into the Champions League for the first time since the 2010/11 season. Here is the team news and predicted line-up.
Team News:
Once again, Mauricio Pochettino has no injury concerns going into the match at Loftus Road.
Predicted Line-Up (4-2-3-1):
Goalkeeper – Hugo Lloris
This man has been key to a lot of our success in the Premier League this season, and it is crucial that he starts against QPR at Loftus Road.
Defence- Danny Rose , Jan Vertonghen , Eric Dier , Danny Rose
Danny Rose has been in great form of late and will surely keep his place . Eric Dier has fought his way back into the squad and looks more composed every game , with him now taking the starting spot from Federico Fazio. Jan Vertonghen is our best CB and will be one of the first names on the teamsheet. Kyle Walker has looked dodgy at times recently but his pace is a massive outlet.
Midfield- Ryan Mason and Nabil Bentaleb
These two pick themselves. Both youth products , both in great form, both hungry for the success in the years to come . Will look to dominate the QPR midfield.
Midfield (Attacking) – Andros Townsend , Christian Eriksen, Nacer Chadli
Andros has been in the team the last few games and despite his ability to frustrate , his stunning goal against Swansea should see him start at Loftus Road . Christian Eriksen has looked a tad tired these past few weeks , but is our most creative player and will be hoping to unlock the hoops defence. Nacer Chadli also hasn’t looked at his best in recent weeks but a goal and a good performance against Swansea in midweek will surely see him keep his place.
Striker – Harry Kane
No one is starting ahead of this boy at the moment . A revelation , a big game player , we seem to have unearthed a gem in local boy Harry Kane . He will be seeking to continue his fine season against a QPR defence that won’t be relishing facing the hitman.
