Moussa Sissoko

Perhaps not the most obvious choice from the Spurs squad but Sissoko’s form has seen him become a key man in midfield.

Often partnered with a defensively-minded partner in the centre of the pitch, the Frenchman’s ability to drive forward with the ball is crucial for helping break through opposition lines.

With 13 appearances so far in 2018/19, the 29-year-old is experiencing his best form at Spurs after a tough first couple of seasons with the club.

After a full 90 minutes against Arsenal at the weekend, Pochettino may play a fresher face in midfield. However, Saints will certainly have to focused whoever plays for the hosts.
