Tottenham travel to PSV for a must-win Champions League match on Wednesday.

Defeat is not an option and only three points will realistically give them a shot at qualification after two opening defeats against Inter Milan and Barcelona.

The good news for Mauricio Pochettino is that Christian Eriksen is back – welcomed onto the pitch in Saturday’s game in the 89th minute by the Tottenham faithful.

He should start on Wednesday night alongside Erik Lamela who is fast making himself undroppable with the form that he is in. £75k-a-week man Lucas Moura is expected to drop to the bench.

They’ll support Harry Kane up top and should be supported by Harry Winks, Mousa Dembele (also back from injury) and Moussa Sissoko who was praised for his contribution on Saturday by manager and fans alike.

Danny Rose is still out injured so the defence should be the same as the one against West Ham with the exception of Serge Aurier. He’s back from injury and Pochettino is expected to fancy the speed machine instead of Kieran Trippier, who could do with a rest.

This is the team we expect Pochettino to put out in the Netherlands on Wednesday in the 5.55pm kick-off.
