It’s the final home game of the season, and it could be a juicy one: Spurs are here and fighting for their Premier League survival. They need a point to avoid relegation; we need a win to keep faint hopes alive of Champions League (or Europa League) football next season.
It’s still Calum McFarlane in charge (Xabi Alonso only starts on July 1, officially), and it’s a familiar look from the interim head coach. Levi Colwill’s rested, as expected. Unfortunately, it looks like João Pedro misses out (due to a knock), so it’s Liam Delap up front. Hat-trick incoming! Malo Gusto’s also not in the squad: Josh Acheampong starts and we’ve got a few Academy kids on the bench, including Jesse Derry back from his concussion.
