Subs: Vorm, Dier, Davies, Alli, Mason, Lamela, N'Jie (if fit)/Carroll or some other squad filler
Rationale:
Pritchard - let's shake things up and see what he's capable of. In at the CAM position against Sunderland, a notoriously weak side defensively: he'll never have a better chance to make a good first impression.
Dembele - shifted him into that DM role, but really, he's excelled so far this season when closing down high up the pitch and retaining possession once it does turn over: hence, it's only a nominal thing, and I'd like to see him being pushed up to close down high up the field while Bentaleb sits deeper behind him.
Son - Fortunate Son? Only time will tell, but let's see if he can give us the pace we're badly lacking atm.
Alli on the bench - a difficult one, this, as he's impressed in his brief appearances and actually deserves a starting spot over Pritchard - nevertheless, with Dembele occupying that box-to-box runner from deep role, he's stuck on the bench for now.
Spurs 1, Sunderland 9 - Basically
this in reverse.
