Son available? When's he off?
I also hope Jan is back for this but no need to rush him back as Davidson is doing great in his absence.I hope Verts is available for this game. We need an experienced player like him to partner Toby.
I think we need to seriously think about Lamela for dele or eriksen. We need a bit more bite. If we stand off like last night they have a lot more forward power to punish us.
Unfortunately they've been sunning themselves in Dubai all week. I'm a bit worried about this one, we looked so short of legs in the 2nd half last night, and Poch doesn't really have much scope to change things up.I'd be surprised if our tempo was as low as last night.
Think we'll see a much more aggressive and fast tempo set from the start on Sunday.
Four clear days rest until Sunday should see us nicely refreshed.

It seems like accumulated fatigue. Just a bit worried that United will be rested, and they have nothing to lose in this match really. They can play with freedom, and we need to be aggressive to force them back into their shell.The four days clear rest is a factor for us though. I'd be more worried if we were the lunch time Saturday kick off. But I get you.
Lloris
Aurier - Sanchez - Alderweireld - Davies
Sissoko - Winks
Eriksen - Dele
Kane - Son
Gazzaniga, KWP, Vertonghen (or Foyth), Rose, Skipp, Lamela, Llorente
