Tottenham Hotspur head into a crucial clash with Red Star Belgrade tomorrow evening, with Mauricio Pochettino still searching for the winning formula for his side.

Spurs have struggled so far this campaign, and their performance against Everton at the weekend didn’t exactly offer too much encouragement that they were on their way back to their best.

Although Tottenham did pick up a point from Goodison Park, their attacking play was stifled and they didn’t press with any intensity.

Pochettino has rotated his side heavily throughout the season so far, and that trend could keep up tomorrow.

Pochettino often switches full-backs for Champions League matches, and for that reason Serge Aurier may find himself taken out of the team.

Juan Foyth is edging closer and closer to full fitness, and it could be that he is given the nod to start at right-back ahead of the Ivorian.

Elsewhere, it seems most likely that Moussa Sissoko and Tanguy Ndombele will continue their midfield partnership, although Harry Winks may be eyeing up a place.

Spurs will hope that Harry Kane recovers from illness in time to play on Wednesday, as the England captain brings so much to their side.

Kane’s return could be all the made all the more important as there are big doubts over whether Heung-Min Son will be mentally ready to start.

Pochettino also needs to decide whether or not to use Christian Eriksen again, or turn to new signing Giovani Lo Celso.

Eriksen was awful against Everton, and it could be that he is dropped to the bench in Serbia.

Predicted line-up: Gazzaniga; Foyth, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies; Ndombele, Sissoko; Lucas, Lo Celso, Alli; Kane.
