Three first-team players Poch must drop to beat West Ham

|

3. Dele Alli

Tottenham really missed Ben Davies against Swansea last weekend.

Pochettino revealed that he had picked up a knock against Borussia Dortmund, and he wasn’t in the squad for last night’s game either.

However, he should return against West Ham.

What’s that got to do with Dele Alli?

Alli scored the only goal of the game in the League Cup, but he’s now put two 90-minute shifts in on the Wembley pitch.

Last night’s performance especially will have taken a lot out of him as he did a lot of running off the ball, and he would be better off starting from the bench.

Heung-Min Son can take his place after playing wing-back against Swansea.

Alli will be a massive impact sub if Pochettino needs a goal in the second half at the London Stadium.
