I can't see Lucas being in the squad. Poch needs players to be at a certain level of fitness before he includes them. I would like Wanyama to start with Dembele in the midfield and have Dier on the bench. Hopefully we have Toby starting at the back as his experience is needed in this game. Son has to start for me, he just gives us that directness and pace in the final third. I am leaning towards Aurier starting for his physicality and I feel that this game will suit him better than Trippier.
Pochettino on Lucas Moura: "I think he will be ready to be in contention. He's doing well, training so hard. He's starting to feel his legs. We need to assess him tomorrow after the last training session but I hope's he's doing well and we can put him in contention.”
