OPINION
Tottenham, manager Mauricio Pochettino has a dilemma ahead of Sunday’s game against Fulham.
With Harry Kane out for a couple of months and surely no time to bring anyone in for the weekend, Pochettino must look to a Plan B he hoped he would never have to unleash.
We’re expecting Fernando Llorente to come in and deputise on Sunday, with Lucas Moura unlikely to recover in time from injury and Heung-min Son having left for the Asian Cup.
Troy Parrott might well make the bench, in what would represent a meteoric rise for him, but we doubt he’ll make the starting XI.
Llorente should be supported by Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and Erik Lamela.
There’s another problem in midfield though, with in-form player Moussa Sissoko also out with injury.
That means Harry Winks and Oliver Skipp will probably take the reigns, with Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld in the heart of defence.
We expect Danny Rose to play on the left, with Ben Davies dropping to the bench, and Kieran Trippier holding onto his position on the right flank.
This is the starting XI that we expect Pochettino to unleash against Fulham:
