The in-form English winger will start from the right today…
Kyle Naughton will continue to deputise for the injured Danny Rose at left-back, while Michael Dawson and Jan Vertonghen will continue in central defence ahead of the returning Younes Kaboul.
Paulinho and Moussa Dembele will continue their blossoming partnership in the middle of the park, although Brazilian battler Sandro is back on contention for a start.
Ahead of them, Aaron Lennon could make the bench today, and could provide a pacey alternative to Gylfi Sigurdsson who will cut in from the left on his right boot. The impressive Christian Eriksen will start in the no.10 role, with English flyer Andros Townsend continuing to keep record signing Erik Lamela on the bench.
Roberto Soldado should start up top ahead of Jermaine Defoe, and the Spaniard will be desperate to bag his first goal from open play of the season.
