son!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting to see if Sissoko plays alongside Wanyama or if he plays on the right and Alli or Eriksen drops deeper. Against Monaco Tottenham played Alli alongside Dier in the first half and it didn't work at all, although I doubt Middlesbrough offers such a threat. But hey, if you play badly anyone can beat you.

Don't you think Son will play considering his good form? He was also rested during the week for the EFL cup game.

Spurs will lose here 2-1

0x3

Tottenham have quite a luxury now to play Lamela at midweeks and rest him weekends as in my opinion he belongs definitely in their best XI. But against struggling Boro it's wise to bring Sissoko or Son in as former would adjust to his new team and latter would stay sharp. Spurs have much more and better working options now for Lamela-Alli-Eriksen trio compared to last season, and Wanyama can play in place of Dier and even Dembele if needed. Now they just have to get Janssen into game as Kane is out for a while.
