Mourinho benches Alli as Spurs visit injury-hit Sheff Utd

Dele Alli (£8.3m) has been named on the Spurs bench ahead of their trip to Sheffield United.

The England international misses out on a start in Jose Mourinho’s talented attack, fronted by Harry Kane (£10.9m).

Son Heung-min (£9.8m), Lucas Moura (£7.1m) and Steven Bergwijn (£7.5m) are the three options named in attacking midfield, supported by a deeper pair of Giovani Lo Celso (£7.3m) and Moussa Sissoko (£4.8m).

The Fantasy attention will almost certainly be on the South Korean tonight. He is owned by 8.8% of managers worldwide and scored 12 points against Sheffield United back in Gameweek 12.

Those invested in the Spurs attack will be boosted by the line-up that Chris Wilder has been forced to field for the Blades.

Recent injuries to John Lundstram (£4.8m) and John Fleck (£4.8m), have severely limited his options in midfield. With Luke Freeman (£5.0m) also absent with a knock, Oliver Norwood (£4.8m), Ben Osborn (£4.7m) and Sander Berge (£4.7m) start together for the first time in the Premier League this season, Jack Rodwell (£4.5m) the only back-up on the bench.

Jack O’Connell (£4.6m) is still not back from injury either so Jack Robinson (£4.0m) continues to deputise in central defence alongside Chris Basham (£4.6m) and John Egan (£4.5m).

Spurs’ defence continues to offer greater stability though. For the third successive match since Project Restart began, Mourinho has paired Eric Dier (£4.8m) with Davinson Sánchez (£5.3m) at centre-back, flanked by Ben Davies (£5.3m) and Serge Aurier (£5.0m) in the full-back roles.

Sheffield United XI: D Henderson; Robinson, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Osborn, Norwood, Berge, Baldock; McBurnie, McGoldrick.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris; B Davies, D Sánchez, Dier, Aurier; Sissoko, Lo Celso; Son, Moura, Bergwijn; Kane.

    Bergwijn is probably the worst 2 week punt I've ever had in this game. Get out of my team.

    Poor defending from Son, almost like LB isn't his best position.

      I feel so sorry for you

      We were at a level below you the day you beat us 4-1. Look what's happened since, scary.

    Honestly Berge at 4.7m might not be a bad option
    Has looked great today and vs. Arsenal
    Seems like he is finally settling in

    Lets be honest, the game has moved on from Jose Mourinho.

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He should still be at Chelsea, that was his home. But now he just creates issues that don’t need to be created wherever he goes.

    A. Vardy, Son > Jesus , Willian (-4)
    B. Son, Guendouzi > Mahrez , Foden (-4) & Bench Vardy
    C. Son, Guendouzi > Mahrez, ASM (-4) & Bench Vardy

    Still think Berge has lost his place to Lundstram?

  24. DandyDon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    3 chances 3 goals for Utd. Saying that can’t remember a chance Spurs have created (that wasn’t ruled out for Kane). Mourinho Rant on VAR after match will be worth a watch
