#2 Spurs defensive dilemma

Watford v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
Spurs are without Rose

Spurs are having a defensive headache ahead of their Tuesday fixture. Pochettino is expected to use a 3-4-3 formation with Alderweireld, Sachez, and Vertonghen at the back. Full-back/wing-back is an area of concern for Pochettino.

Ben Davies did not play against Bournemouth on Saturday and his availability for Tuesday is a doubt. Danny Rose is yet to feature this season after a horrific knee injury and is a few weeks away from playing again. Sergi Aurier failed to nail down a place and has been in and out of the side.

With Ronaldo & Isco on the wings for Real, Tottenham will find it hard to cope up with their pace. Dier has to play deep and it will require a defensive masterclass to stop Ronaldo & Co.
