Few will argue wth Slaven Bilic’s call to bring in Darren Randolph and drop Adrian to the bench at Spurs this evening.

And our unpredictable boss has also plumped to start Diafra Sakho despite the striker having suffered a six month absence from action.

randy1Adrian has been in shaky form over recent games and needs the rest whilst the patience and professionalism of Randolph needed to be rewarded.

With Andre Ayew presumably playing wide and the Lanzini and Payet hopefully slipping into the space created by a hopefully totally on the case Sak, this looks as good a team as we’ve been able to play this season.

It looks very much as though we re sticking with the three at the back system via Reid, Kouyate and Ogbonna with Antonio and Cresswell operating as the wing backs and a midfield of Lanzini, Obiang and Ayew with Payet in behind Sakho.

It’s exciting and it’s daring with Slav clearly looking very much for the win.
