Harry Winks’ ankle is being assessed ahead of Saturday’s Emirates FA Cup fourth round tie at Southampton.

The midfielder limped off during the second half of our 2-1 home win over Norwich City on Wednesday night.

Ben Davies (ankle), Harry Kane (hamstring) and Moussa Sissoko (knee) are all continuing with their rehabilitation and remain out.

Would love Foyth & Skipp getting a start & Parrott involved but can't see it unfortunately.. So can see something like
Lloris, Aurier, Tanganga, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Gedson, Dier, Ndombele, Sessegnon, Moura, Son,
Subs: Gazz, Foyth, Alderweireld, Skipp, Lo Celso, Eriksen, Dele

A "False 9" basically stemmed from that brief moment when Barca were playing Messi as a CF. So it's basically someone who isn't a traditional centre forward, usually a winger, or maybe an attacking midfielder being employed as the striker/centre forward. So for us that would be Lucas. He isn't a striker, but he's employed in that role due to the fact we have zero other options.
Is it? I thought it was when a striker played deeper than their position, a la Firminho etc... Lucas plays on the shoulder of the defence so in my mind isn't a false 9, whereas Dele or Lamela who would drop deeper to collect the ball, with wingers ahead of them would be...

---------------------Lloris----------------------
-------Tanganga--Sanchez--Alderweireld--
--Aurier---Ndombele--Lo Celso-Sessegnon
----------------------Dele---------------------
---------------Parrott------Son----------------

Subs: Gazza, Verts, Dier, Skipp, Gedson, Lucas, Lamela

Alternatively with Winks out:

-----------------------Lloris----------------------
--Tanganga-Sanchez-------Alderweireld---Sess
-----------------------Foyth-----------------------
----Aurier----Ndombele-----Lo Celso----Son----
------------------------Dele------------------------

Subs: Gazza, Verts, Dier, Gedson, Lamela, Lucas, Parrott

Maybe Skipp for Foyth.
But Winks isn't in either team?!

Alasdair Gold pick. Not half bad imo (4-3-3) Lloris; Aurier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Tanganga; Gedson, Ndombele, Lo Celso; Son, Lucas, Alli.
