Mauricio Pochettino needs three points against Monaco in the Champions League tonight
"We must win but we need to see whether players have fully recovered or not," said Pochettino on Monday.
"We have a very good team in front of us and we have to be clever," added Pochettino.
"Some players might need to start on the bench and then come on and make an impact."
Monaco need just one point to secure a place in the last 16 but Leonardo Jardim says he is lining up his side to win the match.
"Yes a draw is enough but we will play our game to win," he said. "We cannot think about a draw because it's dangerous for us."
Radamel Falcao starts up front and Manchester United target Fabinho is in the side.
