Pochettino's dilemma: Should Spurs change systems vs. Chelsea in FA Cup?

This is a modal window.

Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris talks chasing trophies, finishing above Arsenal and his leadership of Spurs.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has a dilemma ahead of Saturday's FA Cup semifinal against Chelsea. In January, Spurs sealed a landmark win against Chelsea by mirroring Antonio Conte's three-at-the-back formation and the system has helped the Premier League's second-placed side produce some of their best performances of the season. However, in the past three games Pochettino has reverted back to the 4-2-3-1 system he used for most of last season, producing 4-0 wins against Watford and Bournemouth.
