Nobody (though not sure why so many defenders are needed on the bench). Still feels a tad harsh.Who would you remove from the bench in order to put Diaz in there?

Give us back De Bruyne to create the space. Everyone's happy (well, probably not City fans or De Bruyne but feck it).Who would you remove from the bench in order to put Diaz in there?
Laporte didn't train yesterday, Stones is making his way back from a knee injury.City have over £100m in centrebacks sitting on the bench.

So who would normally play - and in place of whom - for Juventus that aren't in the starting XI tonight? I ask because I'm not that familiar with Juve, although I assume that Dybala would be one of the players that'd normally start.Tweet

Quite fortunate for Spurs that they face a weakened Juve side due to injuries.
Marchisio, Matuidi and Dybala are 3 big lossesSo who would normally play - and in place of whom - for Juventus that aren't in the starting XI tonight? I ask because I'm not that familiar with Juve, although I assume that Dybala would be one of the players that'd normally start.
Who would normally drop out to accommodate them from tonight's XI?Marchisio, Matuidi and Dybala are 3 big losses
Really? I wish I was that confident. I'd happily settle for a score-draw.I have feeling that tottenham are about to absolutely batter Juventus.

Well, maybe Poch thinks that Trippier needs a rest, or perhaps he thinks the greater pace of Aurier is the better option for tonight - who knows. We'll miss Trippier's crossing ability for sure.@GlastonSpur
Aurier getting the nod ahead of Trippier is strange to me, I think he's been one of your better players in recent weeks.
It's not that much of a difference is it?Well, maybe Poch thinks that Trippier needs a rest, or perhaps he thinks the greater pace of Aurier is the better option for tonight - who knows. We'll miss Trippier's crossing ability for sure.
Dybala, Barzagli, Matuidi, Lichtsteiner and Cuadrado are the notable names missing. Not sure which of those would be starting - or in place of who - but would probably be Lichtsteiner or Cuadrado in place of De Sciglio plus Dybala and Matuidi in there somewhere.So who would normally play - and in place of whom - for Juventus that aren't in the starting XI tonight?

I think there's a fair bit of difference pace-wise ... not massive, but definitely some. He's more athletic and he has more ability than Trippier (when playing as wing-back) to beat his man and get to the byline. However, he's not done that much so far at Spurs it has to be said.It's not that much of a difference is it?
True. Just a bargain basement £32mil backup playing tonight instead.Laporte didn't train yesterday, Stones is making his way back from a knee injury.
No chance, they are not about that life.I have feeling that tottenham are about to absolutely batter Juventus.
Otamendi isn't a back-up.True. Just a bargain basement £32mil backup playing tonight instead.
It's either a £32m back up or a £50m back up. Your choice.Otamendi isn't a back-up.
The only back-up we have is Kompany.It's either a £32m back up or a £50m back up. Your choice.
Probably trying to fight Mandzukic, Aurier is more of a physical presence and it feels like a better match up for Spurs.@GlastonSpur

Not really true as you play four at the back. Looks to me like Laporte and Otamendi are the starters with Stones and Kompany being the backups.The only back-up we have is Kompany.
There's a difference between being a back-up and not starting a game.Not really true as you play four at the back. Looks to me like Laporte and Otamendi are the starters with Stones and Kompany being the backups.
