OPINION
It is a bold, bold move by Mauricio Pochettino to leave Harry Kane on the bench and you can understand why some Tottenham fans are furious with the Argentine’s decision because Spurs simply have to win at the King Power on Saturday night. Even though Spurs could drop out of the Champions League if they do not win against Barcelona next week, winning at Leicester should also be a priority considering how closely-packed the teams are in the top-five. Spurs can drop into the Europa League next week but what will be worse for them is not getting in the Champions League at all if they do not finish in the top-four this season. Arsenal are looking good and Chelsea are improving. Manchester United are also back to winning ways so the fight for the top-four is going to be fierce. Leaving your best player in Kane on the bench could be a huge mistake by Pochettino.
#THFC: Lloris (C), Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier, Sissoko, Winks, Dele, Son, Lucas.
