I really hope Reece isn't going to be sidelined, I think he will turn out to be an outstanding right back and he needs to be with us when he does.

Rumor has it Alonso starts. Callum at RWB again.

Mount and Abraham in the starting eleven as well.

Well i'm fine with Alonso starting at wb.Chilwell has been pretty awful for some time now.Deserves to be dropped for a few games.

The biggest question mark for me is, will Billy Gilmour be on the bench?

Alonso startling just In time for Spurs he hates North London ?

 

I have no problem to see Alosno as LWB, this position more suits him than LB and he is a better player than Chilwell on this position. 

Interesting if we're going to play with two in front or Abraham will be the forward and Werner behind him.

Let's win this, COME ON CHELS!!!

No Zyiech at all?

I don’t think this is the team for Werner to get confidence against as they’ll all be camped on their own goal line. 

How the f**k does Dave get the start over James...and Alonso WTF in from the cold..I bet Chillwell and Emerson will be pissed I would be. But I guess we'll see how this pans out. 

Hmm no James at right back, seems he prefers Azpi? Maybe he just wants his captain on the pitch? See how this goes anyway, glad Mount is back though.

Ugh... that same midfield again.

Good to see Kanté back - hopefully he's only on the bench because he's not quite fit rather than because Tuchel legitimately thinks this is our best midfield pairing. Still no sign of Gilmour in the squad...

Well tbf James has never played in a back 3 and I don't really see him in that position. This line-up is more like Azpi over Zouma and CHO over James

It's A Back 3, With Wingbacks, Tuchel Atm Values CHO As A Better Wing Back Than James

No Ziech? I don't like that midfield. I like the attack, but 3 at the back really shafts a lot of our wingers.

Interesting approach. 

Got a feeling Werner will score twice today.

3-4-3 if i see it right with Mount behind the Strikers. 

Really hope we don't sell James and Gilmour before Tuchel gets the sack. 

Ah I didn't think of it that sense, couldn't see the formation so wasn't thinking of a back 3 with Alonso and CHO as wing backs.

 

Still, Reece James surely for his defensive side would be a better wing back than CHO?! Who am I to judge though, I'm open to see Tuchel make this work. Funny to see Alonso back from nowhere though! 

Not a fan of the starting line up or the formation.

Playing RCB in a back three was where he became our star boy at academy level and Southgate has played him there for England.

Alonso will have a lot to prove 

Yeah funny to see Alonso again. 

Maybe he goes for CHO because he doesn't expects Burnley to attack.
