Kane and Eriksen benched for Spurs trip to Leicester

Harry Kane (£12.5m) owners are in despair after he was named on the bench for tonight’s game against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Mauricio Pochettio has shuffled his pack ahead of Tottenham’s crunch tie against Barcelona on Tuesday night. Midfield maestro Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) is another who finds himself on the bench.

Son Heung-min (£8.4m) looks set to lead the line in Kane’s absence. The South Korean has been in fine form in recent weeks with two goals and an assist in his last three appearances. It will be no surprise to see him register more attacking returns tonight.

Ben Davies (£5.6m) starts ahead of Danny Rose (£5.8m) while Dele Alli (£8.9m) comes back in to the starting XI having come off the bench against Southampton in Gameweek 15. Jan Vertonghen (£5.9m) also returns having served his suspension.

Harry Maguire (£5.4m) is named amongst the substitutes for Leicester City. Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.9m) leads the line again in the absence of the injured Jamie Vardy (£8.9m).

James Maddison (£6.8m) owners will be hoping he can find the back of the net for the third consecutive Gameweek. He’s likely to be on spot kick duty if the Foxes are to be awarded one.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Pereira, Morgan, Evans, Chilwell, Mendy, Ndidi, Iborra, Maddison, Gray, Iheanacho.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Dier, Davies, Sissoko, Winks, Alli, Moura, Son.
