Could Tottenham rest Christian Eriksen this weekend?
Tottenham Hotspur face West Bromwich Albion this weekend – with the two sides aiming to bounce back from losses in the Premier League last weekend.
The Baggies lost 4-0 against Chelsea, while Spurs were beaten 2-0 by Arsenal.
Tottenham managed to beat Borussia Dortmund in midweek and are likely to make changes again, especially with a round of Premier League midweek matches upcoming.
Here is a look at how Mauricio Pochettino could line his side up…
This team features two changes from the side which beat Dortmund on Tuesday night.
- No Christian Eriksen. The playmaker has looked tired in the last two games after his international heroics. It may be time to give the Dane a breather ahead of next week’s game against Watford.
- Kieran Trippier back in the side. Spurs have rotated their right-backs frequently this season and Serge Aurier could drop out once again. On the opposite flank this is a good game for Danny Rose to get more game time and build on his midweek showing.
- Moussa Sissoko back in. The Frenchman started on the bench in midweek and would replace Dele Alli’s role here, with the England ace stepping into Eriksen’s shoes.
