Tottenham Hotspur face one of the most crucial fixtures of their season when they travel to the Liberty Stadium to face Swansea in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Saturday, and Mauricio Pochettino is expected to make four changes from the team that beat Bournemouth.

Tottenham came through a tough Premier League test against the Cherries at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday, after Junior Stanislas had given the home side the lead after just seven minutes.

Spurs then watched on in horror as superstar striker Harry Kane was forced off the pitch with an ankle injury after around half an hour, an issue that is expected to keep him out until next month.

However, the Lilywhites managed to kick straight on from the blow, with Dele Alli bringing them level just a few minutes later as he finished well from Serge Aurier’s brilliant cross.

Three second-half goals then allowed Spurs to pull away from the Cherries, with Son Heung-Min scuffing home a shot at the far post before calmly taking the ball round Asmir Begovic to seal the win.

Right-back Serge Aurier then scored his second goal for the club when he headed home well, with Spurs rising above Liverpool into third in the Premier League table.

Cup opponents Swansea come into the match on the back of a 0-0 draw against Huddersfield, with Jordan Ayew being sent off and receiving a suspension for this match.

This is Futbol have selected the expected Tottenham starting XI, including those four changes from the side that beat Bournemouth.
