This is the Tottenham XI that can catch Premier League leaders Chelsea

Christian Eriksen

It took him a while to get going this season, but Christian Eriksen is now in full stride after a fine run of form.

The Danish international, who joined Spurs back in 2013, failed to net in any of his first 11 Premier League appearances of the campaign, but a fine strike against Chelsea on November 26 has instigated a great run of form.

Since that game, Eriksen has scored four goals and laid on six assists in 12 games for Spurs, helping them to second place in the table.

The link-up play with Dele Alli and Harry Kane has been excellent, and his two crosses for Alli’s headers against Chelsea were top drawer – Spurs fans will be hoping for more of the same if they are to catch Chelsea.
