Three ways Tottenham can slot Barkley into starting XI as Poch masterplan takes shape – view
Diamond: Cutting in from left or right
In what would be a huge shake-up in the middle of the park by Pochettino, Spurs would rely on their width from full-backs Danny Rose and Kieran Trippier.
Victor Wanyama would sit at the base of the midfield, with Alli and Barkley working as box-to-box midfielders. Eriksen would sit in the number 10 role.
A very attack-minded formation, Spurs would start Kane and Son up top in what could prove to be one of the deadliest partnerships in the Premier League.
