Tottenham Hotspur take on bitter rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday, and Mauricio Pochettino is expected to make six changes to his starting XI.

Spurs struck in injury time to overcome a stubborn Burnley side on Saturday at Wembley, with Christian Eriksen once again the hero for Pochettino as they remain in third place in the table.

Opponents Arsenal will be reeling from their first loss since August as Southampton halted their unbeaten run at 22 games with a 3-2 win on Sunday.

In goal, Paulo Gazzaniga is expected to replace Hugo Lloris.

In defence, rarely-seen youngster Kyle Walker-Peters is expected to come in for Kieran Trippier, while Juan Foyth is expected to replace Danny Rose with Ben Davies switching to left-back, while Toby Alderweireld is expected to retain his place.

In midfield, Moussa Sissoko is expected to keep his spot, while Harry Winks is expected to come in for youngster Oliver Skipp, who made his full Premier League debut on Saturday.

In attack, Harry Kane and Dele Alli are expected to keep their places while Son Heung-min and Christian Eriksen are expected to replace Erik Lamela and speed machine Lucas Moura as Poch reverts to type with his preferred attacking quartet.
