Striker and Keeper

We’ll start with the easy call first. Barring some sort of unforeseen injury or personal tragedy, Hugo Lloris is a lock to start in goal.

The real question is if he’ll be troubled to the same degree he was against Leverkusen. He had several splendid saves that allowed his club to come home with a valuable point. If he’s tested as much against the Cherries, it will represent a pretty poor outing for the Spurs defense.

With Kane still out of action, Pochettino will again need to choose between Son Heung-Min and Vincent Janssen to lead the attack. Of course, he also has the option to play both men in the same starting XI.

My guess is that we’re going to see Janssen start up top once again. He put in a solid shift during the week and Pochettino reiterated his faith in the Dutch international this week. Janssen probably won’t play a full 90 minutes, but he should be on the pitch when the match begins.
