Confirmed Spurs team vs Southampton: Christian Eriksen returns to the starting line-up

It's a very different looking Tottenham Hotspur team which faces Southampton to the one that crashed out of the Carabao Cup.

Mauricio Pochettino 's side are aiming to get back to winning ways after the disappointing draw at Olympiacos, the defeat at Leicester City and then a shock Carabao Cup exit at the hands of League Two side Colchester United.

The Spurs boss has changed the entire team that faced Colchester on Tuesday night with many of his key men having been rested for the League Cup clash.

Hugo Lloris returns after his time spent with his newborn son with Paulo Gazzaniga back on the bench.

Pochettino has retained the three man axis in the centre of Harry Winks, Tanguy Ndombele and Moussa Sissoko, fresh from signing his new contract, which is three years plus an option for another year.

Mauricio Pochettino insists Tottenham are 'united'

In the attacking areas he has gone with Son Heung-min and Christian Eriksen with Erik Lamela, Lucas Moura and Dele Alli all on the bench.

Here's how Spurs line up at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: Lloris (C), Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Winks, Sissoko, Ndombele, Eriksen, Son, Kane. Subs: Gazzaniga, Davies, Dier, Wanyama, Dele, Lamela, Lucas.
