Tottenham Hotspur defender Ben Davies could be fighting for a place with Danny Rose in Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

Jamie Carragher has told Sky Sports that Ben Davies could have a problem at Tottenham Hotspur, due to the form of Danny Rose.

Rose was England’s best player last night, as they beat Switzerland 1-0 at the King Power Stadium.

The Tottenham left-back was a constant threat down the left-hand side, and he also looked solid defensively.

And Carragher said: “I think it’s about time we saw the real Danny Rose. He had pace, power and energy and, to be honest, you’d never think he’d lose his place to Ben Davies.

“But Pochettino might be watching that thinking that Ben Davies might have a problem now, if he continues that form.”

Pochettino has slowly started to re-introduce Rose back into Tottenham’s team this term, after what was a disappointing campaign last time out.

Danny Rose of England takes a throw-in during the International Friendly match between England and Italy at Wembley Stadium on March 27, 2018 in London, England.

Rose barely featured for Spurs after injury, and he was widely expected to move on in the summer.

However, now Rose has stuck around, he adds competition for places in Tottenham’s team – and he could well take over from Davies as first choice.

Davies struggled in his last Spurs appearance against Watford, so Pochettino has a selection dilemma on his hands for the weekend.

Tottenham return to action after the international break with a match against Liverpool at Wembley.
