Tottenham Hotspur play host to Arsenal in the Premier League tomorrow.
Tottenham have experienced an absolute nightmare week, following defeats to Burnley and Chelsea in the Premier League, and they now sit nine points adrift of league leaders Liverpool.
They do have a great chance to bounce back against Arsenal tomorrow, however, and a win over their bitter rivals would help banish the memories of their last two losses.
Spurs quite simply have to win tomorrow, and if they are to do just that, Mauricio Pochettino must not hesitate to bring Danny Rose back into the starting XI, having left him out at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.
The 28-year-old was a constant threat for Tottenham against Burnley, whilst Ben Davies offered little going forward away at Chelsea in mid-week.
Rose is clearly a better player than the Welshman, and it is baffling that Pochettino seems to prefer the former Swansea City man.
Tomorrow’s game at home to Arsenal could end up defining Tottenham’s season, and having Rose in the side would surely give them a better chance of turning over their bitter rivals.
Spurs fans would surely be pleased to see the England international start tomorrow’s North London Derby, and there wouldn’t be too many clamouring for Davies to be selected ahead of his teammate.
