Sanchez had started the season as Pochettino’s new No.1 following the departure of Kepa Arrizabalaga.
He, however, failed to convince and the injury he suffered during a defeat at Everton in December handed Petrovic a chance to shine.
Petrovic has seized his chance and has been one of his side’s best players over the course of a difficult period for Pochettino.
When asked who would start against the Bees on Saturday, Pochettino said: “I don’t know if to tell or not to tell [you].
“They know already. Always is tough when you only need to pick 11.”
