Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks is desperate to put the disappointment of missing out on the Nations League finals behind him by breaking back into Gareth Southgate's England plans.
Winks was not included in Southgate's squad for the summer conclusion of the inaugural tournament as he had only just come back from groin surgery.
He played for Spurs in the Champions League final on June 1, but the England boss chose not to select him for the subsequent Portugal trip.
Pochettino will hope his side remain unaffected when they visit Arsenal on Sunday for the north London derby.
And Winks reckons winning at the Emirates Stadium, for the first time in the league since 2010, would send out a big statement.
"They are massive (games). When you play these big teams in the league it is important to make a statement by winning and put your marker down," he said.
"Arsenal is going to be a big test. We had Manchester City last week and we came away with a positive result (2-2 draw on August 17) so hopefully we can do the same next week."
