Start strong, sub off Sissoko etc later to rest players:
Lloris
Aurier Sanchez Toby Rose
Winks
Sissoko Eriksen
Moura Kane Son
Bench: Gazzaniga, Trippier, Davies, Foyth, Skipp, Lamela, Llorente



Does that ever happen?
If poch starts a player they generally play at least 70 minutes even if they are subbed

We will rotate and I'm sure we will play a diamond. At a guess I reckon we will go..

Lloris
KWP Foyth Sanchez Rose
Winks
Skipp Eriksen
Lamela
Lucas Kane
The only real question will be if Poch feels KWP and Foyth are up to starting together side by side. If not ether Trips or Sanchez will. I would imagine Skipp will start for ether Sissoko or Winks as both will need a breather. Moura will certainly start. If Dier is for then I would expect him and Skipp to start.

Can't see us playing the diamind unless Sissoko is starting, he's integral for that set up.

Also think there's just too many changes in that line up.

Trippier, Davies and Sissoko rotated out. Dele given a game to make sure he’s fit.

It would be nuts to start Trippier again here. I thought 3 in a week was pushing it with him immediately coming off a reinjury. 4 in 10 is a bit wreckless. Sissoko could use a breather. Rose comes back in for Davies.

Sissoko is the only mezzala we have so you may be right about not playing a diamond. Saying that, winning 6-2 might persuade him to stay with it. As for changes. I'm sure Rose will play, and likely Foyth with Sanchez only just back. Would think Dele won't start and Lamela most likely taking his spot. Would also be surprised if Lucas doesn't start with Son off the bench. Having so many games in the next few weeks I will be surprised if Poch doesn't rotate a lot.

I do like that Dele - Eriksen - a Son combo and good to have Sanchez back too.

Based on fitness and form, think I would consider playing a back 3 for this one.
----------------------------------Lloris------------------------------------
----------Foyth-----------------Toby--------------Davies------------
KWP----------------------------Winks---------------------------Rose
----------------Lamela------------------------Eriksen-----------------
------------------------Lucas--------------Kane-------------------------

If up, pull Winks for Skipp at the 60 minute mark and make the other subs based on situation fitness but would be nice to get Eriksen and Kane off early also.

This is assuming Dele is injured too and that nobody else has returned to fitness, with a breather given to Sissoko.

We don't really know how bad Dele's injury is. Based on what MoPo said, it's not a big issue and that it is more a case of fatigue than anything more. That said, I think he will be rested for this one and give him a bit of a breather.
Poch will rotate slightly again so:
I can see Foyth coming in for Sanchez, KWP for Trippier, Rose for Davies, Skippy for Winksy and Lamela for Dele.

I dont think Sissoko needs a breather. I cant see him looking tired at the end of the season. He's a confidence player and is probably chomping at the bit to play every game at the minute. Make the most of it while you can would be my thinking.
But as Poch said, trust in him so whatever.
With the injuries we've had how much more rest do these players need?
I'd go strong, get in front and then sub players for rest.
Also like to see our back 4 stay the same for at least 2 games on the bounce. Cant remember when that last happened.

I think Sissoko was struggling at the end on Sunday. Think we need to give him a breather now as Winks is going to need one soon also.

Gonna be some more rotation today so I wouldn’t like to guess what the team may look like. Different fullbacks and maybe Sanchez or Toby will sit it out. Saying that I wouldn’t like to change too many things in defence because Bournemouth are a really capable team in attack. In midfield we can’t really change much but in attack I suspect Lucas and Lamela will start.

Poch almost said it in certain terms that Skipp is starting...Dele & Sissoko probably rested
