With midweek Champions League disappointment as Tottenham Hotspur lost out late on in the game against Inter Milan, going into this weekend’s tie with Brighton back in the Premier League, I think it’s safe to say we’ll welcome back Kieran Trippier and Toby Alderweireld to the side.
Whatever the relative merits, or technical reasons, for leaving them out of the European clash, I just can’t see manager Mauricio Pochettino not bringing them back.
With Hugo Lloris still out injured there will be calls for Paulo Gazzaniga to again replace Michel Vorm and I would think Danny Rose will return in place of Ben Davies who didn’t have the best of days either.
Vorm,
Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose,
Eriksen, Dier, Dembele,
Moura, Kane, Son
That’s how I see it though.
Despite Erik Lamela’s own showing, I would think Poch will revert to Moura given his substitute impact as we look to get back to winning ways after three straight defeats for the first time under the Argentine gaffer.
I can see plenty not being overly enthralled with that lineup though, I just don’t see Victor Wanyama coming in for the start yet until he’s got a half under his belt following injury.
