Romero will play surely.

I think it will be Romero, AWB, Lindelof, Maguire, Williams, Fred, Mctominay, James, Bruno, Rashford, Ighalo

Still good enough to beat Chelsea IMO
I don't think either Wan-Bissaka or Bruno can handle playing tomorrow. Both looked absolutely spent against Palace.

I get that but who plays at RB? Dalot? Ole looks to have made his mind up about him. And with Williams a doubt TFM will probably play LB so that means Dalot or someone like Laird which I'd like to see.

Bruno is the one I would rest because he looks knackered and his game has suffered the last two games but I struggle to put Lingard in any starting lineup :lol:

He has to trust Dalot for this, or else as you say, promote Laird. If Williams is fit then Fosu-Mensah could play over there.

If we play Wan-Bissaka for another 90 minutes tomorrow because we don't trust anyone else, that means we need to play him for 90 against West Ham and then again against Leicester. I am 100% sure that would end up costing us because the lad is absolutely shattered.

I think it could be a case of playing Laird RB and TFM at LB again tomorrow then Wednesday hopefully Brandon is fit and we can go back to AWB and Williams on either side.

Would be exciting if nothing else. Talk about a baptism of fire for the lad though - up against Pulisic on his debut!

Howard Nurse has just confirmed that Arsenal have agreed a deal with Borussia Dortmund for Aubameyang
Well done. I think he might be suited to them. If they can get that Ceballos guy he could provide the ammunition. Emery would be a good appointment

Looked like a penalty to Bournemouth for me. He uses his hand to push King away from his trajectory, not a shoulder.
For some reason, shoves or pushes are never seen as penalties. It looked like a certain penalty to me, too.
I hate the old "just a shoulder barge/using his body weight" line for this very reason. It was a clear shove.

Nope not a clear shove as no pen was given. A lot of you I think want contactless football.

Southampton's away record is ridiculous, especially when comparing it to their home record. If they win this, about 84% of their current points total were won away.

Only Norwich have a worse home record, and right now only Liverpool and City have a better away record.

Don’t know why they said Watford are safe if Bournemouth lose..?! Definitely not. As gd from Bournemouth to Watford could still be made up due to Watford having hard games left & also forgetting about Aston Villa..I reckon a draw & win for villa & they stay up with 2 losses for Watford. BT don’t know what they’re talking about

Red Card for Casemiro!
Really good striker who was unlucky with injuries at Anfield. Found his place at Southampton though and has been brilliant for them! He definitely deserves the success that he's currently enjoying
He was 22 when he was impressing with Burnley in their first season after promotion. Looked liked there was some promise there - but competition and injuries were brutal to him at Liverpool. Needed the last season with Saints to come back to speed, and is now living up to that promise from so many years ago.

I don't think these numbers will remain an anomaly, he will probably score at a similar rate next season if he can stay injury free. He's still 27, too - Southampton could build around him and look for loftier ambitions in the league.

Lucas, Son, Kane. They should be able to stretch that Leicester defence, especially with 36 year old Morgan in there.

C'mon Jose, you prick.

Strongest possible XI from Spurs and another back 3 from Leicester with Ndidi shielding.

Alderweireld and Sanchez need to watch out over their shoulders for the wide long balls to an in-flight Vardy.

Harvey Barnes v Aurier worries me. Barnes is aggressive in his pressing and transitions, and Aurier often goes asleep at vital moments.

By the way, Barnes is someone who has added a lot to his game this season and has plenty of potential. I can see some of the bigger sides sniffing around him this summer.

Why am I so tensed? We need them foxes to drop the gun massively here.
Common spurs!!!
Because Son and Kane aside, you can't really trust the players in this Spurs side. Aurier for instance - he can score a screamer or he can be caught out over and over again by Barnes down the flanks. Lo Celso can pick a killer through ball to Son on his day, or he can be completely shackled by Ndidi.

If they win here they'll be the 3rd best away team in the league.
