Tottenham XI vs Marine: Confirmed early team news, predicted lineup, injury latest for FA Cup

The largest gap between two opponents in FA Cup history in terms of league position won’t stop Jose Mourinho from naming a “very good” Tottenham team to face Marine in the third round this afternoon. Mourinho’s Tottenham squad is strong enough to make wholesale changes from Tuesday’s League Cup semi-final win over Brentford and still pick a formidable XI against the eighth-tier side, with Gareth Bale having asked to feature. Bale – who earns a reported £600,000-a-week, while Marine’s part-time players are paid on average £100 to £300 a week by the club – and can expect to start if he comes through training on Saturday, with Carlos Vinicius also due minutes having been largely ignored since the conclusion of the Europa League group stage.
