#2 The forward line of Spurs - Who gets benched?

Son Heung Min should start alongside Dele, Eriksen, and Kane but will he?

Harry Kane will start for sure. There is no doubt about that thing. He is coming off a good game against Croatia in the international break, where he scored the winning goal. But other than Kane, there are Lucas Moura, Son Heung Min, Dele Alli, and Cristian Eriksen available for selection.

All players are equally deserving to start. But seemingly one of them has to be benched. Eriksen and Dele Alli too could be considered as no-brainers to start and thus we are left with two. Son is a great goal-scorer and has delivered on many occasions, the same can be said for Lucas Moura.

It is up to Mauricio Pochettinho to decide the starter. One of them would start while the other could be used as a substitute. Against a team like Chelsea, possibly a more swift Son-Heung Min could start but that is just a speculation at this point.
