Crystal Palace face Tottenham in the Premier League this weekend as they look to compile the misery on the North London side.
After a couple of dissapointing results in the Premier League, after going 2-0 up in the North London derby, the 1-0 loss at home to Newcastle seemed like a blip and nothing but a distant memory, however, as Arsenal battled back to secure a point, Spurs and their fans have become unsettled, a lot like some of their players.
With the uncertainty revolving Christian Eriksen, Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweirald, many supporters are actually calling for Lamela to be dropped to the bench this weekend.
A predicted starting 11 came to surface on Twitter, which included Lamela in the lineup, it is fair to say fans are hoping that isn’t the case. Take a look at the predicted team and the reactions below!

These Spurs fans reacted to the possibility of Lamela starting…
Twitter: @pokeefe1 Hopefully you’ve got Lamela wrong, apart from that, it won’t be far away I reckon (@Christov_23)
Twitter: @pokeefe1 Please no Lamela

Twitter: @pokeefe1 Dele or Lucas instead of Lamela for me .. although Poch will almost certainly start Lamela (@MFOD2010)
READ CRYSTAL PALACE VERDICT
If Spurs fans are desperate for Lamela not to start, that indicates that Palace should be hoping he does. It means that the Argentine international has been out of form of late, despite scoring against Premier League Champions Manchester City last month.
Palace have been in fine form over the last couple of games and will be hoping to produce another surprise result against Spurs this weekend. If Lamela does start, Palace could benefit from his poor form.
