RB – Reece James

Reece James

Potter confirmed that the fullback was rested against Southampton after playing three games in a row following a knee injury.

With captain Cesar Azpilicueta suffering a concussion at the weekend, James will almost certainly be recalled to face Spurs.

He will likely be coming up against Son Heung-min, who got a confidence-boosting goal against West Ham last Sunday, so the South Korean could be a handful.
