Liking the 2nd line up there. Perhaps seeing Dele and Eriksen swapping position from time to time to give them a big problem.So we should have back Vertonghen, Dembele and Lamela. Though doubtful if Dembele will be included.
Moura is not certain option (might be available, might not), if he makes it, he will be on the bench.
Dier and Wanyama are still certainly out.
What I really like is that our win tomorrow would put us 10 point ahead of 5th place. That is quite a buffer, ain't it! So come on guys. Make it happen!!
I'd like to see -
-------------Lloris------------
Aurier--Toby--Jan--Rose
-Winks-Sissko-Eriksen--
--Alli-----Kane----Son----
or alternatively
-------------Lloris------------
----Toby--Foyth--Jan----
Trippier--------------Rose
---Sissko---Eriksen-----
-----Alli---------Son-------
----------Kane--------------
PS Now looking at those, I would even prefer 2nd option. I watched the Newcastle game and when their players took room from ManUre players, they really-really struggled for chances. Our players are way superior to Toon ones, so we can contain them better, and certainly be bettar on the attacking side as well
COYS! Leave the 3pts at home. Don't care how!!!
A quick question. Have we actually used a back 5 this season? I seem to remember we went straight into a back 4 with Toby getting the nod alongside Jan from the start.
Can't remember it happening.
Doh! How did that slip the memory? So it's not very likely something we have been working on this season. I guess a back 4 then for Utd.
Only other time I can remember us playing it this season was Fulham and they got through us with ease. Changed to a back 4 and won 3-1.
I wouldn't be against 3 at the back tomorrow though with Alderweireld, Sanchez and Vertonghen to make up for a lack of real holding midfielder.
Certainly when Son leaves too.
My thoughts also. Their attack shouldn't be underestimated.
However looking at their missing players their back four has to be..
Dalot--Lindelöf--Jones--Shaw
Gives us a very good chance.
Absolutely, Sarri showed it was easy to play against the diamond with width.Play the same way we did against Chelsea then they will destroy our midfield. Man Utds attack is alot more threatening than a strikerless Chelsea.

We have a more than decent record against them in the last few years. Hopefully it will continue tomorrow.Shaw and Young will have a field day unless we do something. I guess we will see tomorrow.

Can't wait for all the sky coverage...

Oh o ...... asking for trouble!Think Guido posted in here that we haven't lost at home to them since 2012!!
I'm glad Sanchez is out. That little fucker will always raise his game against us.So basically all the shite players are out.
