'Magic!' - Tottenham fans love what Jose Mourinho has done against Sheffield United

Jose Mourinho's team selection for this afternoon's Premier League fixture against Sheffield United has got a number of Tottenham fans talking.

Spurs don't have fond memories of this particular fixture.

In the corresponding meeting last season, Mourinho's side were beaten 3-1 in a result that came as a setback in their quest to finish in the top four.

Tottenham go into today's clash at Bramall Lane on the back of a 1-1 draw at home to Fulham in midweek as they missed the chance to go third in the table.

But in an attempt to get his side back on the winning trail in the Premier League, Mourinho has made a few changes to the side which started against the Cottagers.

Three to be exact.

As expected, the likes of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, Eric Dier, and captain Hugo Lloris all retain their places in the starting XI.

Two of the changes are at the back with Joe Rodon and Ben Davies coming into a back three which means a change of formation for the north London outfit.

Steven Bergwijn comes into the side in place of Moussa Sissoko, while Harry Winks drops out of the squad altogether.

Tottenham XI: Lloris; Aurier, Rodon, Dier, Davies, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Ndombele; Bergwijn, Son, Kane

Most of the reaction from Spurs supporters on social media has centered around the inclusion of Rodon in the team.

Take a look at some of the best responses on Twitter...

@davidoddy said: "Should be Rodon and Toby for me but we move."
