I cannot believe I'm saying this, but this is a tricky game. They have had back to back wins (FA cup and prem) and will be bang up for this, knowing they will likely dominate the ball, and the game, even if not the score line.
If Mourinho were to employ this ridiculous tactic of his in this game then I think that would be the straw that breaks the camels back for me.
Please put out an attacking line up with a view to dominating the ball and the game !

It is like Bale is afraid to go at it 100% for fear of an injury, he can probably still do it, but I don`t think he has the confidence in his body at the moment, and he won`t want to risk missing the Euros.
Mourinho also prefers his wide forwards to defend as much as they attack, no matter the opposition, so Bale will be overlooked in favour of others.
We may as well play Bale up front and drop Kane into central midfield, that way Bale won`t have to defend as much and these days Kane spends most of his time in midfield or defending anyway, so it makes sense under Mourinho`s tactics.

I wouldnt mind seeing what Dele could do playing Central with PEH.

I have suggested this in the past to save his career but he likes too many flicks and tricks to be a commanding CM.

yep
his fitness is concerning me though. He plays, we look better, but then the next game he wont even be in the squad.

Would like to see Ndombele partner PEH just one time. Whilst GLC is injured give Dele another try in the number 10.
Then Stevie B up top with Kane and Son.

He missed Marine as well so something must be up. Wonder if he is isolating?

I think this is as good a starting line up as we have, given that Le Celso is injured. If I were to make any chances, based on thinking that starting Dele as well as Bale might be a bridge too far...... then perhaps .....
