Chelsea vs Tottenham combined XI: Hugo Lloris or Thibaut Courtois? Willian or Christian Eriksen? Who makes the final cut?

Who makes the side if the two teams were mashed together?

(Capital One)

Chelsea and Tottenham meet for the third time this season in the Capital One Cup final and if the previous two meetings are anything to go by, we should be in for an absolute thriller.

In two matches this season Chelsea won at Stamford Bridge and Tottenham won at White Hart Lane, with 11 goals being scored across the two games.

In early December, the Blues withstood early pressure from Mauricio Pochettino's men to eventually record a highly impressive 3-0 win, thanks to two goals in three minutes from Eden Hazard and Didier Drogba, and a late goal from Loic Remy.

But less than a month later, on New Year's Day, Tottenham had their revenge, fighting back from a goal down to produce one of the performances of this season, exhilarating in a 5-3 victory.

The two sides have some pretty recent history at Wembley, with Chelsea winning a controversial FA Cup semi-final 5-1 in 2012, while Spurs won this competition - their last trophy - with a 2-1 win after extra time in 2008; Jonathan Woodgate scoring the winner.
