Kane and Eriksen will be used if required, but Pochettino has put his faith in Fernando Llorente to lead the line for the side currently third in the Premier League.
Pochettino has made eight changes to the side that beat Cardiff 3-0 in their last outing on New Year's Day with only Dele Alli, Son Heung-Min and Davinson Sanchez keeping their places.
Paulo Gazzaniga replaces Hugo Lloris in goal, while Serge Aurier, Juan Foyth, Ben Davies and Kyle Walker-Peters join Sanchez in defence as Pochettino opts to play with wing-backs.
Toby Alderweireld drops to the bench, along with Moussa Sissoko but there is no place in the matchday squad for Harry Winks as Lucas Moura and Oliver Skipp both start.
Meanwhile, Tranmere make just the two changes from their last league game against Macclesfield with Harvey Gilmour and Steve McNulty coming in.
Tranmere starting XI: Davies, Ellis, McNulty, Monthe; Caprice, Harris, McCullough, Gilmour, Ridehalgh; Norwood, Jennings.
Subs: Passsant, Bakayogo, Buxton, Sutton, Stockton, Mullin, Banks.
Tottenham starting XI: Gazzaniga, Aurier, Foyth, Sanchez, Davies, Walker-Peters, Skipp, Dele, Lucas, Son, Llorente.
Subs: Vorm, Alderweireld, Eyoma, Marsh, Sissoko Eriksen, Kane.
