A lot has been made about Spurs playing at Wembley in the Champions League this season, but Pochettino refused to use it as an excuse for their laboured displays in the losses to Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen.

However, they finally got a win in their last group match, beating bottom side CSKA Moscow 3-1 in what was their most convincing performance of the group stages.

Christian Eriksen was outstanding, and it should give the side a huge boost ahead of their Europa League games, which will also be played at the national stadium.

When you look at how West Ham have struggled to adapt this season at the London Stadium, playing a few games at Wembley this time around could seriously benefit Spurs ahead of their temporary move there next season, when they will play all home games at the national stadium.

To get the monkey off their back by winning there on Wednesday will be a welcome relief to Pochettino and his side.
