Striker Harry Kane returns for Spurs after missing ten games with an ankle injury. However, central defender Toby Alderweireld is still out injured, and he is replaced in the back four by Austrian Kevin Wimmer.

Belgian midfielder Mousa Dembele also starts the game for Tottenham despite picking up a knock in their Champions League defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in midweek.
