Tottenham predicted lineup vs Sheffield United - FA Cup

Tottenham's quest to win a first trophy in over 15 years continues with an FA Cup fifth round tie at Sheffield United.

Spurs' search for silverware still lingers on despite the talent that's been at their disposal, with Antonio Conte now tasked with ending their drought.

The Italian is not expected to return from surgery recovery in time for Wednesday's trip to Bramall Lane, with Cristian Stellini in line to take charge again - he has a 100% win rate when standing in place of Conte at both Inter and Tottenham.

Here's how Spurs could line up.



Tottenham predicted lineup vs Sheffield United - FA Cup

GK: Fraser Forster - With Hugo Lloris injured, Tottenham's backup goalkeeper is now 24-year-old Alfie Whiteman, who has played about 10 minutes of senior football for the club. Forster has to start once more.

CB: Davinson Sanchez - It would probably be wise to wrap Cristian Romero in cotton wool considering his importance and ability to quite easily get injured or suspended.

CB: Eric Dier - As has long been pointed out by Conte, no other centre-backs in Spurs' squad have the same profile as Dier (for better or worse).

CB: Japhet Tanganga - With Ben Davies now a strong option at wing-back and Clement Lenglet playing more as the left-sided centre-back, this would be a good chance for Tanganga to come in.

RM: Pedro Porro - Has hardly had a kick since his deadline day arrival due to the form of Emerson Royal. This should be a good opportunity for Porro to strut his stuff.

CM: Pape Sarr - His last start came away at Milan, putting in one hell of a breakout performance under the San Siro lights.

CM: Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg - Tottenham's most durable midfielder by some distance.

LM: Ivan Perisic - Beginning to look worryingly slow at his 34 years of age. Davies' recent performances have relegated Perisic to the bench in Premier League games.

RF: Dejan Kulusevski - Started to look like his physically dominant self in Sunday's win against Chelsea. Just needs to start finding the net again.

LF: Arnaut Danjuma - Scored in last round's win against Preston but has struggled for minutes ever since.

CF: Richarlison - Had a run at left wing recently but will be needed up front in order to afford Harry Kane some much needed rest.
