Mauricio Pochettino has made several changes for Tottenham’s final Europa League group game against Monaco at White Hart Lane.
Harry Kane is rested so Heung-Min Son starts up front, while Josh Onomah is handed a first start in midfield. There are also starts for summer signings Kevin Wimmer and Clinton N’Jie.
Hugo Lloris, Toby Alderweireld and Eric Dier keep their places in the spine of the side.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the team news.
Only Poch can make a selection so brilliant everyone ignores Tom Carroll. Even he's been reasonable under Poch. This is his genius.

Toby deserves a rest more than Rose & Walker who were rested last EL game. Oh well, Pochettino knows best #COYS

Glad that Wimmer isn't having to play next to Fazio again. Unfair expecting him to show his best and flourish when he's doing a job for two.

Bentaleb also back on the #THFC bench after a considerable amount of time away from the side, great news for us having strength in depth.

The average age of Spurs starting 11 tonight is just 23. #THFC #COYS

Good mix, more changes wouldn't have been the worst thing. Great to see @cameroncv2 on the bench! https://t.co/0k8uzO6uuQ

Delighted to see Josh Onomah get his first start, hope Carter-Vickers gets some minutes as well #COYS

#thfc Thought Dier looked below his best at West Brom and maybe needed a rest but good to see Pochettino has rotated. Good chance for Onomah

Buzzing for my boy @Joshuaonomah10 getting his first start tonight. Fully deserved. Just the start, bro! ???⚽️❤️

Love the lineup! Rotating when we can afford the risk is a smart move. Strong team in Qarabag paid off. #COYS
