Name Your Starting XI – Carabao Cup Semi Final Second Leg – Tottenham (H)

|

Please note the subtle change in the title!

This Thursday, Chelsea welcome Tottenham Hotspur, to Stamford Bridge for the second leg of a Carabao Cup semi-final.

The tie is there for the taking with Tottenham Hotspur holding a 1-0 lead from the first leg, courtesy of a dubious penalty from Harry Kane.

Cheered on by a full house, Chelsea have a wonderful chance to reach the first major final of the season with Tottenham beset with injuries and likely to be without Harry Kane, Son and the influential Dele Alli, who picked up a hamstring injury in their win at Fulham, on Sunday.

Now, whereas we usually ask you to second guess the starting eleven that Maurizio Sarri would select, we’ve taken the opportunity to alter things just for this fixture.

Here at Vital Chelsea, with Sarri getting a substantial amount of stick after his criticism of the sides display at the Emirates Stadium, we’re asking you to name the starting XI that YOU would select.

Would you change things drastically or would you just make a few slight adjustments?

Would you start with Callum Hudson-Odoi?

Would you restore Eden Hazard to his favoured position?

Who would be at the heart of the defence?

Would you include, presuming the deal has been completed, Gonzalo Higuain?

Four questions you might want to take into consideration as you ponder the starting eleven YOU would select.

Simply drop your chosen XI into the comment facility beneath this article.
