@BenPearceSpurs: #thfc Pochettino says Erik Lamela has a chance of starting tomorrow: "“Maybe. I still haven’t decided. I am going to decide today for tomorrow. But yes, he has a chance maybe to play from the start against Brighton tomorrow.”

Thank **** I didn't sign Son

Son is the definition of the fpl troll: never know when he's going to play, but when he does he often hogs the points from other Spurs attackers

There's always a chance but I'd expect both Son & Lamela to play. With Eriksen or Dele getting a rest.

Son has arguably been our best and most effective player in the last month or so.

When I see Son and willian being signed by experienced players I can never understand . giroud as well. They are not first choice and will not be

3 nice options for the draft game over Christmas though.

I would consider Son first choice at the moment, he's played 7 of the last 9. Since he destroyed Liverpool he's been very impressive. It's the people with Aguero and Jesus still in their teams I don't understand.

Son is a great punt if you know you're taking him out in a week or 2. Nothing more.

How many has he started ?

Started 7 of those but in 3 of those games he got taken off at 61, 68 and 76 mins.

76 mins isn't too bad I guess but ideally I'd like my players to be playing at least 80 mijns

I meant started 7 out of the last 9. I think he'll play most weeks while Alderweireld is out injured generally against the weaker sides too which is when you want him playing.

Ye I think alder being out means 4231 is used more which benefits son

@JamesPearceEcho Klopp: “I took Mo Salah off because he had a hamstring a little bit. Then everyone said ‘how can you take him off?’ and stuff like this. I don’t go out and say ‘yeah, but he is close to being injured.' He is not at the moment, thank God. Hopefully we took him off early enough.”

Id say he's going to be rested.

There’s just an inevitability that big players are going to be rested at times with the crazy fixture schedule over this period.

The only solution is to have 15 starters, accept that players like Naughton and Duffy are going to have to come in with 1 pointers (or the odd sneaky clean sheet) for your big hitters at times, ride it out and take the double figure hauls from the likes of Salah the other 7 weeks out of 10.

If he's rested, he'll be rested for everyone, no point in worrying about it.

Thepoet85

Any word on Mustafi? He's going to drop tonight and not sure whether to hold in case he's ok for the weekend.

F1ngers

Reid suspended for next West Ham game - 5 yellows.

Conte said he was tired and had a niggle in his back. So both.

OK thanks, I want to get him back in but if he was to not start I'd be screwed!

Injured, tired and on 4 yellows, I would avoid like the plague to be honest.

Any fresh info on Ward, Richarlison or morata? Who would ye expect to start at the weekend ?

Deise Vu

Doesn't sound good for Bailly.

No word on Ward anyway. I wouldn't expect him to start but I'll have him on my pitch anyway because I have bigger problems to sort first.

From the BBC

Defenders Ben Mee and Matt Lowton could both return to the Burnley squad for the trip to Brighton after both recovered from injury.

Sean Dyche says an assessment on Stephen Ward's knee injury will be made on Friday.

dsmythy

Welcome back Ben. Thank fook.

Only this from 12/12/17:

Richarlison is an early doubt for Saturday's game against Huddersfield. The Brazilian was replaced late on due to an apparent groin problem.
Cleverly will definitely miss out after receiving his marching orders. #watfordfc

and this today:

Morata has been pictured training with the group this week.

Snapshot of those near suspensions. Well owned players in bold. (Meant to bold Duffy too)

Lucas Hood

Only relevant till December 31st then they would need 10 for a ban.
