The big news at the back is the absence of Toby Alderweireld who sustained an injury in Spurs’ 1-1 draw at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

While Kevin Wimmer and Cameron Carter-Vickers wait in reserve, we expect Pochettino to revert Eric Dier to centre back; a position he’s more than comfortable with of course.

Failing to earn regular game time in central midfield like he did last term, this is a big opportunity for the England international to take.

At full back, Pochettino could hand game time to both Kieran Tripper and Ben Davies but we feel he’ll go full strength with Kyle Walker and Danny Rose in arguably the toughest group game.
