There is a great sense of optimism among our Spurs fans in the Transfer Tavern following a run of 3 wins in their last 4 games in the Premier League.

However, what our Tottenham punters at the bar really know is that this FA Cup run is the most likely competition to provide a trophy that the White Hart Lane faithful crave so badly from their young side.

There is no doubt that this Spurs team has all the potential and with their talisman Harry Kane firing five goals in his last two games, our landlord feels that Millwall will have to look to stay in the game as long as possible which will be made harder by the fact that they are the visiting team for this one.

With that said, in the 4th Round – Wycombe Wanderers were fearless in their trip to the Lane with Son Heung-min being the toast of many Spurs fans here in the Transfer Tavern when he popped up with a last minute winner.

There is hope for the Lions, then, but the thoughts in the Transfer Tavern from the Tottenham fans are that Mauricio Pochettino will look to play a strong XI for this one and our Landlord has drawn up just who he may go with…

GK: Michel Vorm

Though Pochettino has looked to play a strong side for the FA Cup, our landlord expects him to stay loyal to Vorm who has played the last three rounds of the cup.

RB: Kieran Trippier

Like Vorm, Trippier has played the last three rounds and Pochettino will rest Kyle Walker by sticking with the former Burnley man here.

CB: Toby Alderweireld

The Spurs fans in the Tavern know how vital Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghan are to their team and want one of them to be rested for this game. Our landlord believes that Alderweireld will play here.

CB: Eric Dier

Dier has mainly been used in a centre-back trio with Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen this season but will have to cope without one of them against Millwall.

LB: Ben Davies

Although he has been a regular in the FA Cup this season, Danny Rose’s injury means Davies is a definite starter here.

CDM: Victor Wanyama

Wanyama is the type of player who can really set the tone in this London derby and will look to dominate the midfield battle.

CDM: Harry Winks

Winks will add a bit of locality to the derby and will be looking to show he is more than capable of holding his own under pressure.

RAM: Son Heung-min

Spurs’ saviour in the third round, Son has established himself as a cult hero among the Tottenham punters in the Transfer Tavern.

CAM: Dele Alli

Dele will surely be targeted by Millwall as a player potentially to be sent off and will have to be wary of that, especially after his dismissal against Gent at Wembley.
