THIAGO SILVA

When playing against Harry Kane, you need to deploy the best of the best. Not only because of his immense goal scoring ability but also this new trick he has found which draws fouls and even injuries from defenders. Thiago Silva will have done his research, I’m sure.

There aren’t many in the business better and more experienced than Silva. While he may be getting on a bit, he is still capable of playing in big games like this. His form has been immense and is one of the reasons why Tuchel has started his campaign with a good defensive start.
