Has team selection been made easier

A look at the Tottenham Hotspur fixtures for September shows that Mauricio Pochettino will have to juggle his troops, starting with the Sunderland game.

13th: Sunderland (a) 17th: Qarabag (h) UEFA Europa League 20th: Crystal Palace (h) 23rd: Arsenal (h) League Cup Third Round 26th: Man City (h)

One assumes he wants to play the strongest side in the Premier League fixtures, although what our strongest side is with two new forward signings is unclear.

Harry Kane will surely start the three Premier League fixtures against Sunderland, Crystal Palace and Manchester City while having a rest for the midweek games. Clinton Njie you would expect to see playing the IEFA Europa League tie against Azerbaijani side  Qarabag and north London rivals Arsenal in the League Cup.

Son Heung-min is fit to play, has more experience than Njie and operates from a wide position rather than centrally like Njie. Christian Eriksen is not going to be fit enough to play, nor probablyt is Mousa Dembele so we may see us play with Kane and Mason centrally again, but more likely perhaps one of our new striking options to partner Kane.

That would leave the right hand side, do Lamlea or Townsend come in, will Chadli move to the right, will Njie or Son be shunted out there, it's not the natural position for either player. Injuries have perhaps taken away some tough decision for Pochettino, knowing the team selection and starting the game can' come around soon enough.
