Kind of surprised about Dele - figured he would be back by now.

Good news about Eriksen - hopefully he can gut it out.

Can't believe we wont start Lamela against these. He's just the sort of player we need to get at them and wind them up.

In every other season I would have face palmed myself. But he's been a sensation this season, much more like the player I thought we were getting in 2013.
He was brilliant against Barcelona and has been involved in most of the good work we've done this season.

I would play him over Son who needs a rest.

Kane
Lucas Eriksen Lamela
Wanyama Dembele
Davies Sanchez Alds Trips
Lloris

That, IMO, is about as strong a team as we can put out.
I think this game will be a polar opposite to the hiddeous anti football they deployed at Wembley last season. I think they'll fly out of the traps and try to get at us early.
We'll need to weather the storm before gaining control. For me, Dier isn't the right player to have on the pitch when we get bombarded. He will almost certainly do something utterly backward and give them a golden chance.
