Predicted XI - No Son, no Lamela

WBA vs SPURS


The team to face WBA might involve a few changes with players coming back from international duty. Erik Lamela usually arrives back after everyone else of a Thursday and needs a rest so doesn't start Saturday games, instead coming on as a substitute if needed. The same thing may well happen again this weekend with the travelling and time zone changes his mind and body has had to go through.

Son Heung-min might well face the same issues. He has had several time zone changes, plus played in the heat of Iran so might need some recuperation time. He may be that he plays one half and Lamela plays the other.

It might be that Harry Winks, Josh Onomah or Tom Carroll comes in for a start or that Georges-Kevin N'Koudou starts. Does Eric Dier play or having just come back from injury is he kept for the Champions League. Does he play and is Wanyama kept for the Champions League?

The team thus may be slightly different than some are expecting, it's tough to call when you don't know the fitness of the players. We will find out soon enough.
