'Perfection!' - Tottenham fans love what Mauricio Pochettino has done against Sheffield United

Mauricio Pochettino's team selection for this afternoon's Premier League clash against Sheffield United has prompted a huge reaction from a number of Tottenham Hotspur fans.

As expected there is no room for Erik Lamela and Jan Vertonghen because of injury.

Furthermore, club captain Hugo Lloris remains on the sidelines and isn't expected to return until the new year.

Pochettino has opted for a familiar 4-2-3-1 system this afternoon and has handed a recall to Serge Aurier at right-back which means Juan Foyth drops to the bench.

Ben Davies also returns at left-back as Danny Rose drops out of the squad altogether.

There's a big call in central defence as Eric Dier keeps his place but is partnered by Davinson Sanchez once again as Toby Aldwerweireld has to settle for a place amongst the substitutes once again.

In midfield Tanguy Ndombele starts alongside Moussa Sissoko with Dele Alli set to play behind Harry Kane.

In total Pochettino has made just two changes to the side which started against Red Star n the Champions League last time out as Giovani Lo Celso makes his full Premier

Tottenham line-up: Gazzaniga; Aurier, Dier, Sanchez, Davies; Sissoko, Ndombele; Lo Celso, Alli, Son; Kane

Most of the reaction from Spurs supporters on social media has centred around the inclusion of Lo Celso from the start.

Take a look at some of the best responses on Twitter...
