Attacking midfielder-Marcus Edwards

There may be a mini Tottenham social media revolt if Marcus Edwards doesn’t get the start tomorrow. The skillful attacker showed real glimpses of quality during the preseason, and is a huge prospect for Spurs’ future.

In all seriousness, Pochettino should give him the start on Wednesday to reward him for his hard work and perseverance. There were real questions as to whether or not he’d sign a professional contract with Tottenham this summer, and now it’s time for the manager to repay his commitment with a meaningful start.

Attacking midfielder-Tom Carroll

We go straight from the most exciting possible starter to one of the least inspiring choices. Carroll isn’t ever going to live up to Tim Sherwood’s opinion of him, but he’s still a serviceable option in the attacking midfield.

His lack of strength shouldn’t be an issue against a League One side. If you’re committed to having him on the roster, this is the sort of match he has to play in.

Attacking midfielder-Josh Onomah

The English youngster has been a bit of a forgotten man after the purchase of Georges-Kevin N’Koudou and Moussa Sissoko, but I’m still bullish on his future with Tottenham. He just needs to find a little confidence with the first team to reestablish himself as a serious option for Pochettino off the bench.
