RM – Andros Townsend
Started the term very strongly and was promoted to the England national side, but since then has dropped in form and needs to finish the year well in order to go to the 2014 World Cup.
CM – Sandro
Played at centre-back against Benfica and whilst the Brazilian played wholeheartedly, didn’t look comfortable and should be back in midfield for this game.
CM – Moussa Dembele
Another who didn’t play in Europe but should have recovered enough fitness to face Southampton and give youngster Nabil Bentaleb a much deserved rest.
LM – Christian Eriksen
Came on late against the Portuguese side which suggests that Sherwood was saving the Dane for this game and although left midfield isn’t his preferred position, Eriksen should start from there.
CAM – Nacer Chadli
After scoring twice on Thursday and generally impressing in the No.10 role, Chadli should be given another chance there behind the striker.
