Tottenham left-back set to start for first time since October 6.
Tottenham Hotspur defender Danny Rose is in line for his first start since October 6, report The Guardian.
Rose will replace Ben Davies, with Mauricio Pochettino ringing the changes from Sunday’s North London derby defeat.
Rose returned to fitness a week ago, but has not yet worked his way into the starting line-up.
He came off the bench in the 82nd minute at The Emirates, with Tottenham already 4-2 down.
A home fixture with manager-less Southampton is an ideal opportunity to bring Rose back in.
Davies has played non-stop over the past two months including over the international break.
At his best, Rose is a superior attacking force than Davies and it is in Tottenham’s interests to get him playing again.
Tottenham are without centre-backs Jan Vertonghen (suspension) and Davinson Sanchez (injury).
One possibility is that Tottenham play three at the back, with Davies and Rose both in the starting line up.
