Mauricio Pochettino says he may rest Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen for Tottenham's trip to Crystal Palace on Saturday (kick-off 5.30pm).

Spurs have played five games in 13 days leading up to the international break, losing to Manchester City but then winning three in a row against West Ham, Wolves and PSV Eindhoven.

Both Alli and Eriksen have had injuries this season, and both are likely to feature for England and Denmark respectively in upcoming international matches.

Pochettino said: "It was a tough game against PSV in the Champions League. Then they are going to move to the national team I think. It will be tough to play two games.

"That is why we need to take care and send them really fresh. That is why we are thinking if they are going to play or not against Palace."

Crystal Palace are still looking for their first home win of the season.

Palace have taken two points from five home matches and their two goals at Selhurst Park both came in a 2-2 draw with Arsenal in their previous home game.

"If we are to get positive results, we have to keep going and putting in good performances," said manager Roy Hodgson ahead of the game.

"Tottenham will be difficult because of the quality of their players."
