Lucas will start as a 10 again. Jose has been waxing lyrical about him in recent weeks. At least Bale should get a start.
This should be the team. But like you say Jose may think more about what Burnley can do rather than what we can do..and that maybe his undoing.#PredictJoseJose will be weary of our susceptibility to conceding a header against Burnley. For this reason I could see Doherty (who has shown he is one of our strongest defenders the air) starting over Aurier. Based on the Europa League match selections I expect Reguilon to play but I think Davies could be a surprise starter as well (Jose went with Doherty-Toby-Dier-Davies in the reverse fixture).
Lloris
Doherty Toby Rodon Reguilon
Hojbjerg Ndombele
Bale Dele Son
Kane
Subs: Hart, Aurier, Davies, Tanganga, Sissoko, Bergwijn, Lamela, Lucas, Vinicius
Aurier needs to be back in the side asap though.
I think that was definitely the plan before last nights game.Lucus will start ahead of Alli.
Yeah I’m guessing it will be the same team that faced West Ham with Dier replaced and Bale in for Lamela. Lucas at 10.Lucas will start as a 10 again. Jose has been waxing lyrical about him in recent weeks. At least Bale should get a start.
At the moment I think we have 7 nailed on starters.
GK - Lloris
RB - ????
LB - Reguilon
CB - ????
CB - ????
CM - Hojbjerg
CM - Ndombele
LW - Son
AM - ????
RW - Bale
CF - Kane
Aurier plays at RB if fit.
CB is up for grabs but just not a Dier/Sanchez combo.
Lamela, Dele, Moura or GLC as the no.10
If we can sort out those centre back positions then we are looking quite promising again.
I think Jose may add Sissoko to the starting line-up just for his physical presence.
