1) Mousa Dembele or Erik Lamela?

It’s a case of Jekyll and Hyde in the chase for the 3rd spot in our creative midfield trio for Wembley. Assuming he goes with the 4-2-3-1 that has been employed all season, with 9-goal Nacer Chadli and 11-goal Christian Eriksen dead certs to complete the spark of the side, Poch will have to gauge which Mousa and which Erik will turn up on Sunday.

Dembele has the ability to run games with his ability to turn and run, barging players away as if they aren’t there. However his display against West Ham last weekend – which saw him pulled from the action at half time – could put his place in jeopardy. Similarly to Dembele, Lamela can produce moments of magic but the frustration can also run deep. Will the man who scored sensational goals against Asteras Tripoli and Burnley show up, or the overpriced one-trick pony?
