Not a bad looking team but do you really see Poch changing formation at this stage ? And if Dier is out ?

No chance he will, the only question is whether Son, Chadli or Mason will fill in for Alli. Dier was just dizzy last week game wasn't he? Can't say I greatly mind who comes in but not sure if that's a good thing as none really stand out as a great option IMO but I'd personally probably go with Son just for the energy and pace he brings.

Would be tempted to play Dembele in the attacking 3 but not sure where that would leave our midfield should Dier not play.

Dier-----Mason
Lamela----Dembele----Eriksen

Would be reluctant to play Bentaleb in the holding role so perhaps Toby could play there and bring Wimmer in to partner Verts. Both left sided I know but I think the Mason/Bentaleb combo would get schooled.

Mason---Bentaleb/Toby
Lamela-----Dembele----Eriksen

i would play bentaleb too but he's injured.

I recall Dembele playing very well as a #10 as he was coming into form & before he dropped back into the holding role

i'm one of what seems like few remaining mason fans but i really don't want to see him again this season, he should've had ankle surgery months ago but the club put it off and he's been putting in substandard performances ever since.
