Mauricio Pochettino has not made an unchanged Tottenham team since February 2018, but could he do so at the weekend?
Tottenham Hotspur head into Saturday’s game with Sheffield United with momentum on their side, which has been all too much of a rarity this season.
Spurs won 4-0 in the Champions League last night against Red Star Belgrade, as they produced one of their best performances of what has been a difficult season so far.
Mauricio Pochettino tends to rotate after European matches, but the Argentine boss now has a real dilemma ahead of Spurs’s next match.
Eric Dier, Juan Foyth and Giovani Lo Celso were all called into Tottenham’s team yesterday and impressed, which means it would be harsh to drop any of the trio at the weekend.
Both Foyth and Lo Celso are only just recovering from injury though, so Pochettino may want to protect them by leaving them on the bench.
It is well over a year since Spurs have named an unchanged line-up for two consecutive matches.
And, even though many Spurs fans are hoping that no changes are made, it seems likely that Pochettino will tinker.
It could be that Ben Davies steps in for Danny Rose at left-back, but Foyth could well have done enough to protect his own place in Spurs’s line-up.
Here is our predicted Tottenham XI for Saturday: Gazzaniga; Foyth, Dier, Sanchez, Davies; Ndombele, Sissoko; Lo Celso, Alli, Son; Kane.
