Tottenham face a tricky trip to Huddersfield on Saturday

Mauricio Pochettino would like to heavily rotate his squad after a midweek Champions League clash in Cyprus, but injuries are going to make that difficult for him in the midfield. Fortunately, he will once again have the luxury of picking Dele Alli, Jan Vertonghen and Christian Eriksen in this match.

Dele and Vertonghen were suspended for the APOEL match, but face no such bans in Premier League play. Eriksen missed the midweek trip due to illness, but reports claim he’s fit enough to start this weekend.

Elsewhere on the pitch, the news isn’t so good for Spurs. Pochettino will once again be without Mousa Dembele and Victor Wanyama in the midfield. There’s even some question as to whether or not Harry Winks can start another game in such a short amount of time. The English starlet put in a solid shift against APOEL, but may not have the strength to start on Saturday.

As a result, look for Pochettino to start a significantly different side than what he chose in the Champions League match midweek. Fortunately, this weekend’s contest should feature a much stronger group of attacking players. Read on to discover who Tottenham will start in an effort to earn another valuable road win.
