Predicted Spurs team vs Bayern Munich: Christian Eriksen out as Pochettino makes two changes

Mauricio Pochettino's midfield decisions could be key as Tottenham Hotspur take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

The Spurs boss has to balance a winning team with the fact that his players had to play for more than an hour with a numerical disadvantage on Saturday against Southampton.

Pochettino must also decide whether to use Serge Aurier at right-back despite his red card in the Premier League. The Ivorian will certainly be fresher than the other members of that starting line-up.

The manager must also decide whether to continue with the central midfield trio of Tanguy Ndombele, Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko at the expense of one of his attacking midfield options behind or alongside Harry Kane.

Erik Lamela is one of Pochettino's go to men in European matches while Lucas Moura has popped up with some big goals in the Champions League for Spurs since joining the club.

Mauricio Pochettino full press conference ahead of Bayern Munich clash

Christian Eriksen has been out of form and the starting line-up until the game on Saturday when he picked up an assist for Kane's winner.

There is also the question of whether Ben Davies replaces Danny Rose, who has struggled at times since his knee injuries to play two matches in quick succession.

Here is the team we reckon Pochettino will choose to take on Bayern:

(4-3-1-2) Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies; Sissoko, Winks, Ndombele; Lamela; Son, Kane.
