I'd personally be quite surprised if Poch starts Son. Think it will be the usual. Dier and Dembele with Eriksen, Alli and Lamela behind Kane.
It would be a shame if Son doesn't start, in place of who I don't know, it would be harsh to drop anybody at the moment. Lamela is probably the most likely to make way, he's not made much impact in the last couple of weeks but we'd miss his work rate. It's a great problem to have.
Not sure why people are suggesting Alli won't play. 0% chance of that happening if he's fit.
Leave Son out after he was our BEST player vs Lester on weds???Lloris
Trippier Alderweireld Vertonghen Rose
Dier Dembele
Lamela Alli Eriksen
Kane
Subs: Vorm Wimmer Davies Carroll Benteleb Chadli Son (reserve: Walker Fazio Onomah Winks Townsend)
Injured: Mason Pritchard N'jie
There's no way, after resting Alli midweek, he won't be a starter. The only question marks in my mind are the fullbacks, and perhaps whether Son has done enough in Poch's eyes to warrant a start. If it was me, I'd go:
Lloris
Walker Toby Jan Rose
Dier Dembele
Son Alli Eriksen
Kane
Who Poch's chooses at fullback is anyone's guess... But I have a feeling He might throw Son in from the off. Either way, 3 points please - let's keep our noses firmly ahead of LVG's plastic Mancunians .
