To play 4 players that have not really had a pre season is very unwise. Perhaps 1 or 2 but not 4.
Are we really expecting to beat newcastle away? Im not.

Our cm pairing is going to be very interesting seeing as Wanyama/Winks/Sissoko are all out injured & Dembele/Dele/Dier only just back in training

Central defence and central midfield are both screwed unless our world cup lads are able to start, and last 90 minutes. If they're not ready then we'll get stuffed.

Injuries to Foyth, Carter-Vickers, Winks, Wanyama and Lamela mean we're down to the barest of bare bones before has been kicked.

Just need to scramble our way through this game. By Fulham we should be more or less ok with Hopefully Lamela winks Onomah available as well. Thankfully Newcastle aren’t exactly in great shape.

I think this means, Hugo, Kane and Jan start, Alli, Trips and Dier on the bench and Rose, Dembele and Toby not in the squad.

Wanyama injured and doing gym work
Lamela short-term muscle injury but back soon
Foyth out for a few weeks
Winks & Onomah back in first team training
CCV in rehab for groin injury

If necessity is the determining factor then Dier might start too - its either that or start one of Amos and Skipp in the middle alongside Sissoko*.

*I'm under the impression that Winks isn't fit, as he has only just returned to training.

Poch said that Harry actually came back last week.

Not sure what the problem would be with the club announcing that last week?

My final guess at the starting XI is:
Vorm
Aurier Sanchez Vertonghen Davies
Dier Sissoko
Son Eriksen Moura
Kane
We can probably afford to leave Dele on the bench and give Lloris an extra week. Vorm has never let us down and Dele, unless close to 100% fit (unlikely) isn't a significantly better option than a fully fit Son or Moura.
