Should be the same team from last Thursday minus Ndombele.
That has to be the most obvious line up for us, 11 players who didn't start today v Chelsea so as to rest the rest for NLD and assuming Lamela and Alderweireld still out injured.
Would like to see Harvey White get a longer run out as IMO he's the most likely of the youngsters to get to a stage where he can become a regular off the bench to rest a first team player or even rotate against 'easier' teams. And he'd be the rotation option for Hojbjerg where we don't currently have any good alternatives. Maybe 30 minutes as realistically LASK should have little to play for by then ?
Think we could see Brandon Austin getting 10 minutes as GK to follow Whiteman last Thursday.
There is an u21 game on Monday at 12.00 which may give a clue as to whether we see more of Dane Scarlett - if he plays in the u21 game, we probably won't. Same with Cirkin.
With 12 subs, I'd expect half to be experienced players in case we need them, with the other half being youngsters (last EL match we had 5 youngsters).
These games are massively important in keeping the second team match fit given the Christmas fixture list ( even more so given we also have the Stoke game coming up then).
It doesn't make a difference if we win or draw this game, we'll still need to beat Antwerp in the final game to finish top, assuming they beat Ludogorets.
Yes, I am aware.
Yeh... Picks itself really.
Mind you getting, the job done early would be nice cos I'd like to see the dream team front 6 against the Scum next weekend..... Be nice to end the game with Vin on the pitch next Sunday too.
Looking forward to these games. Amid the intense stress we have been, and will be, under in the massive league run we have, it's nice to relax a bit watching some of the *2nd XI" try to impress.
Another game and opportunity for Dele, Bale and the youngsters to get some minutes on the pitch. LASK won't be a hard to beat. I really wish to see Bale back in his old real madrid form. That's still a boost we are missing and waiting for. He has to perform - no way is going to allow himself to go back to Real Madrid. They are struggling hard in the League and CL. I bet they would blame him for that if he was playing for them atm 
But yeah, I am looking forward to the game! Great to have no international breaks anymore - until March

This game is away, not at home like the thread suggest...
get it won by 60 minutes then get bale, lo celso and lucas off.
The same starting eleven that played last Thursday... With only 1 change. Lo Celso starts and Ndombele rest...
A lot of people are saying this will be an easy win. I hope so but am not wholly convinced. We need a result from this game, otherwise Antwerp becomes must win. I care little whether we finish first or second in the group. Get a result and take all the pressure off the final match. Lineup picks itself as others mention but the bench needs to be the first team not the youngsters.
We're allowed a huge bench and 5 subs so there's room for a few young'ns again....
The second team is now good enough to win this under no pressure.
I expect 3-0 score in favour of Spurs.
