4. Christian Eriksen

Tottenham’s Danish superstar got off to a slow start for Spurs this season, but he exploded with a masterful performance at Stoke on Saturday. The pressure will be on Eriksen to build on that showing against Monaco.

Fortunately for the classy midfielder, this won’t be his first foray into Champions League football. He’s competed in the competition before for Ajax, but this will be his first time in the competition as a Spur. That means things will be different.

Ajax were largely happy to be in the competition. Tottenham will be desperate to advance out of the group stage. That will put Eriksen’s play under a very different microscope.

Every Spurs fan knows that Eriksen’s play can run hot and cold based on his mental disposition. Tottenham need him at the top of his game to progress out of the Group Stage.

Next: 3. Dele Alli
