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.

      It’s not lucky to have Kane and Son vs Sheff Utd. But it is for them to combine and score in extra time.

  7. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years

    Son assist to ruin my stevens CS, broken even kind of

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Best to not watch the game with defenders. You probably weren’t expecting much before the game.

      1. AC Yew
        • 5 Years

  23. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

  25. El-Kloppico
    • 8 Years

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Luck. Kane’s had the ball in the back of the net four times. One ruled off with one of the worst situations I’ve ever seen in the premier league.

  26. La Roja
    • 12 Years

    Son could sneak in a bap too

    3. Wan-Bisaka in for Lundstram

    Pope Leno

    Lundstram TAA Boly Fernandez Stevens
