Jose Mourinho's team selection for this evening's Europa League clash against Lokomotiv Plovdiv has got a number of Tottenham fans talking.
The north London outfit go into the game on the back of a 1-0 home defeat against Everton last weekend, as their 2020/21 Premier League season got off to the worst possible start.
But they have a chance to bounce back immediately and Mourinho has named a strong travelling party - despite leaving the likes of Dele Alli and Toby Alderweireld at home.
With that said, the Portuguese tactician has made a number of changes to the side which started against the Toffees.
As expected, Davinson Sanchez returns to the defence alongside Eric Dier.
Giovani Lo Celso comes straight back into the starting line-up after overcoming a thigh injury to partner Moussa Sissoko and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the middle of the park.
Meanwhile, Harry Kane starts up front for with Son Heung-min and Steven Bergwijn in support from the wide areas which means Lucas Moura drops to the bench.
The Brazilian is named amongst the substitutes alongside the likes of Ryan Sessegnon and Cameron Carter-Vickers, but there is no place in the squad for Gedson Fernandes.
Tottenham XI: Lloris; Doherty, Dier, Sanchez, Davies; Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Lo Celso; Bergwijn, Son, Kane.
Most of the reaction from Spurs supporters on social media has centred around the strong starting XI with many seeing it as a statement of intent from Mourinho.
Take a look at some of the best responses on Twitter...
What Jose Mourinho has said:
"I think Lokomotic Plovdiv and Tottenham were both very unlucky with the draw. Lokomotiv could have a much easier opponent than us and we could also have a much easier opponent.
"As a seeded team they could have much, much easier than Tottenham and unseeded teams, there were many with much less potential than Lokomotiv.
"We are both in a difficult position. It is only one game, not two, with two games the situation would be different. With one match, one decision, everything is decided tomorrow, I think it is a difficult match and we are going to give them the respect they deserve from us."
