Spurs made 10 changes from the side that drew 0-0 away to Bournemouth last weekend.

However, Pochettino’s men were knocked out in the fourth round of the EFL Cup, following a 2-1 defeat at Anfield earlier this evening.

Daniel Sturridge netted a double, and while Vincent Janssen pulled one back from the spot, the hosts booked their place in the quarter-finals of the competition.

While Pochettino was disappointed with the result, he was quite philosophical in the wake of the loss.

“I'm pleased with the performance but not the result,” Pochettino said.
