No way will poch drop lamella, and son was visibly not fit enough yesterday so won't be Saturday. We have West Ham and Chelsea he can get ready forSon's match fitness is why I would prefer Lamela over him for the derby. Also, Son will be a great 60/70 minute sub against tired legs.
What makes me laugh is, we are all arguing over who is better at cm as competition is so strong there! Without Bentaleb too! Wind back to deadline day when we all melted we didn't get a CM!
Team results are more important at this stage than personnel development. Play Alli if he is the best choice not only to give experience. Based on your logic might as well play Onomah as wellShould stick with the winning formula. Alli would do well with big game experience early in his tottenham career IMO.
Then why exclude Lamela? Or doesnt his goals count? He is fitter and has scored more PL goals than Son IIRYou need goals to win games so I think we need to get as many of our goalscorers playing as possible. Dembele, Alli, Eriksen, Kane should all start. Son if fit enough too.

Err drop the player with 4 goals and 3 assists which is more than Eriksen, Dembele, Son and Alli.You need goals to win games so I think we need to get as many of our goalscorers playing as possible. Dembele, Alli, Eriksen, Kane should all start. Son if fit enough too.

It will be Lamela ahead of Son probably, with those two swapped after an hour. Alli and Demeble could start in either position andwill likely rotate during the game. Lamela if he starts may move left allowing Eriksen to come inside and play his best position as a No10.
we are in a very good position going into this. Had a tough test during the week where the defence was tgiven a good workout, can only be a good think. Kane has scored two cracking goals in a few days, two top drawer finishes and goes into the game high on confidence. Dont think we could be better placed going into the game. Arsenal however are playing some superb football, scoring goals for fun, and will fancy their chances. I'd settle for a draw but we have a great chance of winning this one.
