good lineup. I hope sissoko can have one of his, not-completely-awful games. if he does, then there's a very good chance we win this.
love seeing lamela in there. makes me smile. i'm guessing he'll play 60 mins, will Alli coming on for him.
Speaking of which... Alli made this decision inevitable with his recent form. Though, I'm a bit disappointed that he wasn't given a chance in midfield, to help bring his confidence back.

LAMELA! Now, we will nick it.

I hope that’s 433 rather than 4231, don’t trust sissoko in a 2

 

[coys200]

They will say dele rested/rotation but he’s dropped. Poch said before Apoel he was fresh after missing 3 CL. If anyone would be rested be eriksen.

Shame about Sissoko, I understand the need to save Dembele for the weekend, but still.

Exciting line up otherwise.

 

[St José Dominguez]

Don't mind him as a sub that much but I can't wait till Wanyama is back so I never have to see Sissoko start another league game.

Please no yellow for Jan tonight.

But Aurier can’t defend and Rose doesn’t want to play for us!

Aurier and Trippier are both bad defenders but at least Aurier has pace to recover. Don’t mind Davies starting but not together with Trippier

Yeah essentially it’s 41221

Well Sissoko wouldn't have been my preference in the middle next to Winks but overall i'm glad Poch has stuck with the system (for now) and to bring in Lamela for Alli keeping Son further wide left is definitely a positive move.

Looking forward to this one.

For the record, what are Brightons defence like recently? Looking shakey? Cos I think if Kane scores early, he'll want that hat-trick.

 

[spurs_girl_tasha]

I've become one of those wankers, I'm drinking mulled wine in Wembley

 

[Giovanni]

Great looking team. Kane and son are certain to score with lamela and eriksen feeding them.
Cant wait!

Poch loves him. Clearly not been dropped.

Please no yellow for Jan tonight.

Going for a 1:1 draw, just seems the normal result at Wembley..

 

[Mr Pink]

Loving that team, but with City in mind I'm staggered that the full backs wernt used the other way round.

Poch obviously just operating pure rotation as opposed to tactically tweaking so to speak, IMHO anyway.

But love that team, should batter Brighton.


(and Dembele fresh for City is great)

 

[Shadydan]

Davies and Trippier against Sane and Sterling. I don’t like that at all

Both played against Real Madrid

 

[danielneeds]

Lamela hat-trick. I’ve put my life savings of bit-coins on it.
