Mauricio Pochettino Has A Big Call To Make Ahead Of Important Week

Tottenham Hotspurs are winless in their last five games while scoring just the three goals. Is it time to risk Harry Kane?

That's the decision Mauricio Pochettino will be left to make ahead of the big week for the club as they compete in two different competitions.

Following London rivals Chelsea beating Southampton in the Super Sunday Premier League encounter, Spurs drop out of the Champions League spot.

Pochettino's side drew 1-1 with defending champions Leicester but new boy Vincent Jannsen bagged his first Premier League goal from the spot, yet he hasn't quite hit the ground running since his summer arrival.

And with a crunch European tie against Bayer Leverkusen and then the North London derby on Sunday, the Argentine boss may recall Kane to the starting XI sooner than he wanted.

The England frontman suffered an ankle injury in September and has returned to light training, though needless to say, he's down on match fitness while the Times claim that the "stakes are higher now."

Should Kane feature in either of the games?
