Tottenham have released the interesting cover of their matchday programme for this weekend's clash with Watford, which depicts Davinson Sanchez on the front, prompting hope amongst some Spurs fans that he starts on Saturday.

It is fair to say that the Spurs defence has endured a torrid time of late, conceding 13 goals in their last five matches, with the most recent drubbings against Bayern Munich and Brighton & Hove Albion.

Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld partnered each other at the back in those games, and so some supporters are hoping to see a change in personnel, with Sanchez currently viewed as a safer option by comparison.

However, the Colombia international hasn't faired much better than his defensive teammates this season if truth be told.

He has only been on the winning side once in six matches, and in those games Spurs have conceded eight goals, so it may be a surprise that some sections of the fanbase are desperate to see him in action.

However, neither Vertonghen nor Alderweireld appear to be in the right mindset currently, and that could be contributing to Spurs' problems in defence, which explains the reactions of some hoping that Sanchez starts, as seen below.
