It's a cup semi second leg, in which we are 1-0 up from the first leg. I don't care that Man City await in the final, anything can happen in that final. And think of the momentum we can take from beating Chelsea over two legs and preparing for the final. This is our best and quickest chance of getting silverware this season, so let's be brave and go for glory.

Yeah, that's what the guy on my other shoulder was telling me...

But in game, have either Lamela or Moura playing off of Llorente and make sure Moura copies Son in making the run beyond the striker in to channels...though I don't have the confidence in Llorente and Moura's positioning and movement that I do in Kane/Alli/Son....

Same team as yesterday for me but bring Dier in for Lamela. I’d also keep Hugo in goals. Yes Gaz has been great but Hugo is our number 1

Nope we're nearing the time when Hugo fucks up in a big game, happens so often. Gaz's record is brilliant. Deserves the start.

Really tough one to call. In some part will depend on whether or not they get Higauin in in time (apparently they he can play despite not being registered before the first game).

Also depends on the fitness of Dier and Lucas.

I think the back three can make us more offensive whilst affording us greater solidity at the back. But if they are gonna play no striker, it might be more useful to have an extra attacker.

I think ideally I'd like to see this...

Gazzaniga
Alderweireld Sanchez Vertonghen
Walker-Peters Winks Dier Rose
Lucas Lamela Eriksen

Subs: Lloris, Trippier, Davies, Foyth, Skipp, N'Koudou, Llorente.

When did the rules change that you can add new players to the squad after the first leg?

I seem to remember us not being allowed to do that a few years ago. I could be wrong of course!

I think that was only for replays before it went straight to pens.

Despite our injury crisis in terms of defence,

Aurier......Toby......Sanchez.....Jan.....Rose​

is really strong. If they’re on it they can deal with what Chelsea are currently offering in attack.

A midfield trio of,

Eriksen....Dier....Winks​

playing at full intensity and not coughing up possession would be able to go toe to with them just like we did at Wembley.

Obviously attack is now where it falls apart but I’m sure Eriksen can at least create one or two chances if Lucas makes some good runs. Their defence is shaky and there is definite space in behind Alonso to exploit. Lamela also does tend to get himself in positions to score at various points in games but he needs to be clinical.

I still think we’ve got a good chance of going there and getting a draw.

If moura and Sissoko are fit I think they have to start. Play eriksen as a 10 like he does for Denmark and scores loads.

Gazzaniga
Alderweireld sanchez vertoghen
Trippier sissoko Dier winks Rose
Moura eriksen

I would put lamella on Jorginho closing him down all the time to shut him out of the game and stop his service to hazard like arsenal did.

There's a genuine chance of neither team playing a recognised striker in this game. Can't remember many matches like that.
