PIC: What’s the story with these line-ups for Spurs v Sheffield United?

Some unexpected starters from both sides

Darragh Murphy

Stoke stopper Asmir Begovic seems to have been oddly named as the Sheffield United goalkeeper, as well as the Tottenham striker for tonight’s game.

And Norwich’s Martin Olsson is good enough to be selected twice for Spurs, in defence and midfield, a bold move for Mauricio Pochettino while Chelsea’s 2011 backline (plus Ferdinand) have made it into Nigel Clough’s plans.

In reality, it seems like The Independent just made a right balls-up of their potential teamsheets for tonight’s Capital One Cup clash but hey, we all mistakes.

We literally couldn’t have put together a more bonkers 22 if we had spent all morning brainstorming so it’s really worth applauding this effort.

It’s oddly enchanting

But it’s a bit disappointing that our Transfer Talk this morning somehow missed out on Olivier Giroud’s shocking move to The Blades.
