So with the team news now revealing that Wanyama and Son are fit, I'd go:
Lloris
KWP Alderweireld Vertonghen Davies
Wanyama Dembele
Son Eriksen Alli
Kane
Subs: Vorm, Wimmer, Dier, Janssen, Winks, Sissoko, GKN
nkoudou's injured.
Edwards or TOB a sneaky chance for the bench?
Not much point having both when dier (who can play both RB OR CB) is already there too. Would be more useful having another midfielder/attacking player imoAt least Wanyama is back.
Only if we choose not to include one of Wimmer and CCV on the bench. So it is unlikely.
Squad should be:
Vorm, Lloris - KWP, Davies, Verts, Toby, Dier, CCV, Wimmer - Wanyama, Winks, Dembele, Sissoko, Alli, Eriksen - Son, Janssen, Kane
I expect these 18 players.

With that team news:
Lloris
WPeters Alderweireld Vertonghen Davies Wanyama Dembele
Sissoko Dele Eriksen
Kane
Vorm Wimmer WPeters Dier Winks Son Jansen
I like it.
Quite bold to go six at the back on the opening day, but Audere est Facere I suppose.

Also having KWP on the pitch and on the bench, unless we have another acadamy guy called Kyle Walker-Peters which would confused just about everyone including both Kyle's and probably Kyle Walker himself as he always looks confused.
