Parrott and Tanganga debuts, Wanyama to start - The team Spurs fans want vs Colchester

Spurs fans have been clamouring to see more players from their youth team progress into Mauricio Pochettino's first team plans, and it's something they may just get against Colchester.

The Carabao Cup clash against the League Two side offers the Argentine manager the chance to switch things up and give a few of the senior players a rest after a difficult start to the season.

And Pochettino has stated that he may finally give young star Troy Parrott his senior debut after a great pre-season tour and some fine performances with the Under-23s side.

The young striker could be joined by Under-23s teammate Japhet Tanganga after the duo were left out of the Premier League 2 match against Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday night.

Elsewhere, Hugo Lloris is likely to be given another match off following the birth of his third child, with Paulo Gazzaniga likely to start in goal.

And there could be a return to the team for Eric Dier, who is on the comeback trail from injury.

Dele Alli is likely to play some part after he was left out of the squad entirely against Leicester at the weekend, but who do the Spurs fans want to see?

After selecting Gazzaniga in goal, the supporters have gone for a mix of youth and experience in defence, with Kyle Walker-Peters and Tanganga joined by Jan Vertonghen and Ben Davies.

In midfield, the fans want to see Oliver Skipp given a start, and backed up by support from Victor Wanyama and Harry Winks.

And in attack, they want to see a debut for Parrot, with Dele Alli and Lucas Moura either side of the 17-year-old striker.
