How Tottenham Hotspur could line up against Manchester City

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Tottenham Hotspur could line up for Sunday's EFL Cup final against Manchester City at Wembley.

Tottenham Hotspur's hopes of a first trophy since 2008 could hinge on the fitness of star man Harry Kane heading into their EFL Cup final against Manchester City at Wembley on Saturday.

Kane suffered the latest in a long line of ankle problems during last Friday's Premier League draw with Everton, which also happened to be Jose Mourinho's final game at the helm, and subsequently missed the midweek win over Southampton.

Interim boss Ryan Mason revealed that the England captain has not yet returned to training, but refused to rule him out of Sunday's game.

Kane's fitness will be monitored "hour by hour", and he will be given every chance to prove that he is ready to play, but Mason did also insist that he would not risk his striker for the sake of a final if he was in danger of further aggravating the problem.

It appears unlikely that Kane will recover in time to start, then, meaning that Lucas Moura could once again play through the middle, with Son Heung-min and Gareth Bale in support.

Both Son and Bale were on the scoresheet in midweek, and the latter has now had a direct hand in 11 goals from his last 11 starts for the club across all competitions.

Other changes may be minimal for Mason, with the likes of Dele Alli and Harry Winks - both of whom will be hopeful of more regular game time in the post-Mourinho era - perhaps not quite ready to be thrown straight in from the start in a cup final.

Ben Davies is the only Spurs player to have been categorically ruled out of this match, while Matt Doherty is doubtful alongside Kane.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Dier, Reguilon; Ndombele, Hojbjerg; Bale, Lo Celso, Son; Lucas
