Tottenham v Middlesbrough: Goalscorer axed as Bergwijn in line for rare start – expert
Tottenham will name a full-strength lineup for their FA Cup clash against Middlesbrough.
That is according to Spurs insider John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
Tottenham travel to the Riverside on Tuesday (1 March) looking to record another win in the FA Cup after dispatching Brighton in the last round.
Spurs returned to winning ways on Saturday (26 February) by beating Leeds United 4-0 at Elland Road.
When asked if Conte is likely to make wholesale changes to his started XI for Tuesday’s game, Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild, “No, I don’t think so.
“I think we will go full strength. We need to progress in this tie.
“The most I can see is maybe one or two changes. Maybe you could drop in Bergwijn for Son.
“Other than that I can’t see any other changes. I would be very happy to see as few changes as possible.
“We need to put some wins together so we should treat it as a league game.
“Maybe Reguilon could come in at left-back but I’m not sure there is any point in that.
“I wouldn’t be shocked if the lineup was unchanged from the Leeds match to be honest.”
Tottenham are in the middle of a congested run of fixtures due to several of their games being postponed in December.
Spurs are next in league action against Everton on Monday (7 March).
