Mauricio Pochettino seems to be prepared to offer Danny Rose another chance at Tottenham Hotspur.

Ben Davies could well be in danger of losing his starting spot in Tottenham Hotspur’s starting line-up.

Davies became Spurs’ undisputed first choice at left-back last season, with Danny Rose’s fitness and form poor.

Rose, though, seems to have been offered a reprieve by Mauricio Pochettino this season.

Rose started Spurs’ match against Manchester United at Old Trafford and he impressed.

Pochettino has tended to rotate his full-backs during his time in charge at Spurs, and he brought Davies back into his line-up, for their match against Watford at the weekend.

Davies, though, failed to impress – with the Welsh full-back struggling as Spurs were beaten at Vicarage Road. And, despite the £10 million (Sky Sports) signing’s impressive performances last season, he could be in danger of losing his place as Tottenham’s first-choice left-back.

Davies was one of Tottenham’s most improved players last term but, on his day, Rose does arguably posses more quality.

And Davies could now face much more time on the sidelines at Spurs than he has become used to.
