On Thursday, Tottenham travel to Monaco for their second game of the 2015/2016 Europa League group stage hoping to get their second win.
After beating Qarabag in the opening fixture, Pochettino and his team will be hoping to establish themselves as the top team in the group against Monaco, who dropped out of the Champions League after getting beat by Valencia and therefore failing to make the group stage.
The team news for Spurs is that Hugo Lloris is set to keep his place in goal as he did for the first game against Qarabag, whilst Harry Kane is set to be rested after scoring his first goal of the season against Manchester City at the weekend.
Christian Eriksen is also set to sit this one out as he continues to build up his match fitness following his comeback against Crystal Palace two weeks ago. It means that Andros Townsend is in line to start, as is Clinton N’Jie who has impressed in his cameo appearances so far. Danny Rose is once again expected to deputise at left back as he did against Qarabag when Ben Davies was rested.
Meanwhile, our opponents Monaco have had a poor start to the season in Ligue 1, as they are 9th after 8 games having not won a home game so far in the league. They also failed to win their first game in the Europa League, drawing 1-1 away to Anderlecht in the first match.
