Vorm, Aurier, Rose, Dier, Sissoko, Lamela, Son
I would have put Hoddle in front of Eriksen to be fair.
Vorm, Aurier, Rose, Dier, Sissoko, Lamela, Son
This seems like a great team to me but kind of depends how WBA set up. Will they be full of confidence at home after recent games thing we can beat anyone now. Or park the bus, who knows. One thing I do know, people had Toby as a starter and he won’t start imoLloris
Trippier Sanchez Vertonghen Rose
Dier Eriksen
Lamela Dele Son
Kane
Vorm, Aurier, Davies, Wanyama, Dembele, Lucas, Sterling
I also would like to see us move to a 4-3-3 for the rest of the season. I had hoped we would have gone with a back 3 against United in the semifinal, but I understand that Toby's contract situation means his final match for us will likely be the midweek game against Newcastle. Your predicted lineup gives us a lot going forwardI really think Dembele needs to be dropped and we need to move to a 4-3-3 for the rest of the season. Whether he's unfit or his head is in China I don't know, but he has been a liability in recent weeks. DM is also a problem area, I think Dier should be dropped but then Wanyama has been poor himself. Son also deserves to be dropped really. Ultimately I think I'd go with something like this:
LlorisHonestly I think we'd be better off bringing in Toby and going to a back three, but I don't think there's any chance of that.

Which is why I wish this were not a World Cup year.
Which is why I would go with Trippier for this game, McLean isn't especially fast but he is a bloody nasty piece of work and Trippier will handle him better.If Aurier plays either him or Mclean or even both will be sent off.
I am a gambling man and predict if he plays Aurier will give a penalty away or be sent off

FA Cup was at stake and we didnt so not going to change now, clearly politics in play and he's gone so no point worrying about that, Sanchez will be startingToby was our best player against Brighton
we should play our best team top 4 at stake
so even if toby is leaving he should still play
We have looked stale in recent games ... West Brom are in resurgent form, have nothing to lose and are playing for their caretaker manager who is on the crest of new manager bounce. Their last three games have seen them beat Man U at OT, beat Newcastle at St James Park and get a credible 2-2 drew with Liverpool. This will be a very tough game! If we win this I am confident we will finish third above Liverpool.
I would freshen it up and bring in Lamela, Aurier, Moura and Wanyama. Very tempted to drop Kane as he has looked sluggish and unfit, but he is 3 goals in 5 and deserves another chance.

West Brom will need to win. That means they have to be going forward and taking chances.
I can see us punishing them and winning comfortably.
