I am a firm believer that any team playing at home should always look for a win, but when you have the better team you would purely expect nothing but a win.
However it seems that Conte has highlighted the key area's for Tottenham to focus, area's in fact that I expect Spurs to take full advantage of.
The full backs are said known to be relaxed on the marking. So it should be no surprise for MoPo to utilise the one man with true experience in Italy and low and behold its Lamela.
It would be more of a surprise if the the Argentinian midfielder was left out than started.
With a supposed slow forward I would expect for young Dier to continue at centre back with Vertonghen. With their energy you would expect for the forward to be marked out of the game. Babacar used as the starting forward and Gilardino usually as the sub. Babacar has scored 4 in 12 games in Serie A and 1 in 1 in the Europa league.
Fortunately Rossi is still injured and will be out of the match, but a familiar name Gomez should be one to watch out for. He had found some form of recent scoring his first 2 goals this for Fiorentina.
In terms of a score my bet would be on a 3-0 with Kane and Lamela to get on the score sheet and Eriksen and Dembele to boss the midfield.
