Son and Trippier benched as Eriksen starts for Spurs

Son Heung-min (£8.7m) and Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) are among the benched players for Spurs in their Double Gameweek 34 fixture.

With already-relegated Huddersfield coming to north London, Mauricio Pochettino has taken this opportunity to start Fernando Llorente (£5.1m) and Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.2m) in their place.

Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) has held onto his place in the side and without Trippier should have a greater involvement in set pieces.

Also, with Son on the bench and Harry Kane (£12.6m) injured, it is possible the Danish international could be taking the penalties too.

Ben Davies (£5.6m) comes in for Danny Rose (£5.8m) at left-back, while Juan Foyth (£5.0m) starts alongside Jan Vertonghen (£5.9m) and Davinson Sánchez (£5.8m) so that Toby Alderweireld (£6.0m) can have a rest on the bench.

Huddersfield have lined themselves up in a 4-5-1 formation with Karlan Grant (£5.0m) leading the line. He has two goals in his last two away trips.

Chris Löwe (£4.4m) and Jon Stankovic (£3.9m) are both playing out of position in midfield.

Spurs XI: Lloris, Walker-Peters, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Foyth, Davies, Sissoko, Eriksen, Moura, Wanyama, Llorente

Huddersfield XI: Hamer; Durm, Kongolo, Schindler, Hadergjonaj; Löwe, Stankovic, Hogg, Bacuna, Kachunga; Grant.

        Bad news for me. Captained him.

      yes!! I had more reaction that moment than the goals

      I saw him put wool socks on?

    Son taping up...

    I can place money that Son will come out to play in the last 20 mins.

    If he blanks or not is another story.

    If Son comes on Poch is an idiot.

      He brought Kane on in an FA Cup game last year when they were 6-0 up...

        And he scored 😎

        Didn't he say it was out of respect? The opposition paid good money to come and see Kane play.

      3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        That was so that the opposition fans could get to see a player like Kane at their stadium

          Poch is a pleasant chap, has the right idea. But if Kane got injured in those minutes he'd have been torn apart.

      It’s called, “minutes relief “. :).

    Surely Son isn't coming on yet?

    1. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      He’s just getting ready.

    2. SHOOTER MCGINN

      Hopefully now rather than 85 mins in

    Come on Son, stage is set, grab a goal

  10. HollywoodXI

    I captained Son. He’s coming on and blanking.

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years

      This

        Worst part is I genuinely think this one sub appearance / not starting will cost me my ML given my two rivals captained Duffy.

    Kind of wish I captained Son now 🙁

    Goal guaranteed. He has never not scored in this stadium.

    Afternoon lads. If I don't use a transfer this week and I bench boost - I'll have 2 FTs next week, right?

    1. Party time
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Yes

      • YEAH PITCH!

            • 5 Years
            5 years, 4 days ago

            No worries. I think 2 transfers ready for 36 is a good move.

    3. Manani

      feel like Son is not even going to get 30mins, feels more like last 10mins

    4. Zladan
      • 6 Years

      S-On

    5. Forever In Our Shadow

      If son is coming on let it be now Poch. Gives him most time to score a brace.

      • 8 Years

      Well if Sonny is coming on soon, at least its not a 90th cameo, with all hope of a goal sucked out of it.

      Could still only get 1 pt, though.

    9. Babit1967
      • 7 Years

      As a son captainer I don’t mind him coming on as Erik vc is doing nothing, will take a goal

      1. The_Fish
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        As long as he doesn't come on for Eriksen in the next few minutes...

    10. Bubz
      • 10 Years

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Is it sad I took encouragement from your statement? I need this to happen if he comes on.
