Tottenham are set to be without key pair Harry Kane and Dele Alli until March due to injuries, which is a major concern for the club in their pursuit of success this season.

Spurs are third-placed in the Premier League table, while they have FA Cup and Champions League fixtures ahead of them.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side also travel to Stamford Bridge on Thursday night to face Chelsea in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup and they hold a 1-0 advantage from the first leg.

The North London club desperately need a hero to step into the limelight in the upcoming months, which starts with the difficult trip to Chelsea.

Heung-Min Son will miss the Carabao Cup return due to his participation in the Asian Cup, which is why Christian Eriksen needs to be at his maximum.

The 26-year-old midfielder appears to be the most important attack-minded player still available and it’s vital he is on top of his game against Chelsea, while finding some goalscoring form in the next couple of months would be useful.

Eriksen, who cost £11.5million (BBC) in 2013 from Ajax, is a midfield general that dictates games for Spurs in possession.

But he’s also got an eye for goal and may need to start showing that on a more consistent basis, as he’s returned a modest tally of six so far this season in all competitions.

The Denmark international can be one of the outstanding individuals in the division on his day and his record against Chelsea is encouraging.

The maestro has scored two goals and supplied seven assists in his last six games against the Blues.
