Some terrible line-up decisions made by Pochettino, particularly Kane. He is Spurs' only striker yet he is risked coming on as a sub in a meaningless game. If he gets injured, you can kiss goodbye to any chance of going for the title, so why even flirt with the idea of playing him? Napoli did the same with Higuain. Even Bayern Munich can't afford their star striker to get injured and they have the best squad in Europe. Pretty sure the Spurs fans would've welcomed an academy/reserve XI today if it meant Kane, Alli, Alderweireld, Eriksen and Dier would receive a substantial rest (including the F.A Cup) with making a big push to win the first title since the 1960/61 season in mind.
@ kheledi + castle : Indeed ...good . Spurs have many indiscriminate injuries . Bentaleb has been out long but attending the academy.This is the time to prpve that too they are part of spurs with their new energy .Both teams will score ( gg) and an ov 25 is there too a win of spurs 2 flor 1
fiorentina will take this one . . . .home advantage PLUS spurs' concentration is winning the epl and next year's champion's league, so they're not risk those for this.
Both florentina and spurs have done well this season . Though spurs stars injured this has generated a new impact over the newly in-come players to win this match : 2-1
Tottenham are in a race to win Premier League and therefore shouldn't put too much effort on this competition. Personally I'd also like to see Bentaleb to start. But Pochettino's men never really look tired despite running off their opponents so maybe some key players like Eriksen will start this match. Also Fiorentina are in good position to battle for 3rd position in Serie A so neither side might play with their first team. 2-1 or 1-1.
@Castle- Absolutely. I find it inconceivable that Spurs will finish outside of the top 4 this season so this is just a pointless competition eating into rest time. They have some players who may be called upon that haven't played too much, like Bentaleb as you mention, so this will be a good tie to get those players some match time.
I think Fiorentina will find it very hard to deal with our intensity and work rate, this is not the same team they played a year ago.I am expecting a draw and spurs to win the return leg at home.

Difficult to predict with Spurs resting players. A draw is the sensible prediction I feel.
