Dele Alli’s return for Tottenham could be the catalyst needed after poor set of results.
Tottenham are currently in a tough predicament after losing their last three consecutive games in all competitions, something that happened for the first time during the reign of manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Spurs have been knocked back by 2-1 defeats to Watford and Liverpool in the Premier League, while Inter Milan snatched a late victory against them in the Champions League group stages.
They will be keen for a response away to Brighton on Saturday and to prove their recent form is just a rare blip.
Spurs will need to show plenty of character to address their troubles and it may take a few special individual moments to change their luck, but they certainly have the talent to do just that.
Dele Alli could return from injury at the weekend against Brighton and may be just the man to dig them out of trouble.
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder has a knack of scoring important goals for his side and his return should lift some of his weary teammates.
The England international is one of the crucial players in midfield for Spurs and they do miss his bursts into the box when he doesn’t feature, something that helped him score 14 goals in all competitions last season.
Alli certainly has the quality to cause havoc in the next three league games against Brighton, Huddersfield and Cardiff, while he may also get the best out of teammate Harry Kane.
The creative playmaker – who earns £55,000-a-week, according to Spotrac.com – may be just the spark needed at Spurs to really kick them back into full gear.
