It\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s still Calum McFarlane in charge (Xabi Alonso only starts on July 1, officially), and it\u2019s a familiar look from the interim head coach. Levi Colwill\u2019s rested, as expected. Unfortunately, it looks like Jo\u00e3o Pedro misses out (due to a knock), so it\u2019s Liam Delap up front. Hat-trick incoming! Malo Gusto\u2019s also not in the squad: Josh Acheampong starts and we\u2019ve got a few Academy kids on the bench, including Jesse Derry back from his concussion.<\/p>\n
