[freeeki]

Wanyama, Son and Winks all on the bench

Kwp stsrts

 

[Bobbins]

KWP starts.

 

[Mouse!]

Guess the thinking is that Sissoko can lend support to KWP on that right side by tracking back.

 

[Lilbaz]

KWP and Sissoko. Big call!

Think sissoko can help protect kwp a bit.

 

[alex3]

Hope walker does well could be a huge game for he's season and whether we buy a new RB

 

[spike472]

I'm happy with that

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

I know Newcastle is the promoted team, but it is a bit arrogant of Pochettino to start with 10 men.

 

[elDiablo]

Or son isnt 100% yet....

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Got no problem with that team at all and plenty to bring off the bench too. Great to see KWP get his chance. Go on lad!

 

[Saoirse]

We've gone for flexibility with that line up. Can change between 4-2-3-1 (with Dier CM and Sissoko AMR) and 3-4-2-1 (with Dier CB and Sissoko CM) pretty seamlessly.

 

[Spurzinho]

Ooo! Interesting line-up. KWP, time to step up to the big leagues lad. No Big Vic is a worry. I want to see Sissoko steaming at the Geordie toe rags to prove a point. C'mon You Mighty Spurs!

 

[am_yisrael_chai]

3 or 4 at the back ?

 

[Streetspur77]

Prediction: KWP will have an very good debut

 

[bubble07]

I assume son and wanyama are not fully fit otherwise they would have started

 

[belsunz]

Big opportunity for Sissoko today against his ex-team.

Sissoko meltdown in 3... 2... 1

I'm expecting him to tear into his former club, tbh. Thats the kind of player he is.

Come on KWP - this is such a great opportunity. Grab it with both hands.

 

[L-man]

#THFC: Lloris (C), Walker-Peters, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier, Dembele, Sissoko, Eriksen, Dele, Kane. #COYS

SUBS: Vorm, Carter-Vickers, Wimmer, Wanyama, Winks, Son, Janssen

Walker-Peters and no Wanyama in the first 11 then!

Ladies and Gentleman, your Premier League champions

 

[nightgoat]

Son on the bench...

 

[Saoirse]

Newcastle: Elliot, Clark, Dummett, Shelvey, Gayle, Ritchie, Hayden, Perez, Manquillo, Lejeune, Atsu.

(In order of squad number, not position).
