Christian Eriksen
Armenia vs DENMARK
Revenge will be on the mind of Spurs new boy Christian Eriksen and his Denmark teammates as Morten Olsen’s side travel to Armenia for a crunch encounter in Group B. The Danes were thrashed 4-0 by a Henrikh Mkhitaryan inspired Armenia in June, and the build-up to this return fixture has already been marred after Olsen compared the defeat in Copenhagen to 11 September.
The coach has since apologised but will know a loss in Yerevan will all but end his team’s chances of qualification. Denmark are fifth, one off bottom, but just a point behind second placed Bulgaria.
Vlad Chiriches
ROMANIA vs Turkey
Captain Vlad Chiriches, 23, can help Romania take a massive step towards the play-offs if they beat Turkey. With Netherlands having run away with Group D, the Romanians can all but end Turkey’s hopes and consolidate their position in second with a victory.
Classy centre half Chiriches, who is yet to make an appearance for Spurs, has just twenty caps for his country but was named captain last month.
