Spurs are short of options in the front three, with Heung-min Son aiming for a return against Aston Villa on Sunday, Wilson Odobert definitely out and 17-year-old Mikely Moore unlikely to start a third game in week.
Richarlison is pushing for his first start since August but Timo Werner and Brennan Johnson flank Dominic Solanke again.
Rodrigo Bentancur and Pape Sarr have not started the last two League games but come into the midfield without significantly reducing Spurs' level.
Dejan Kulusevski is preferred to his compatriot Lucas Bergvall as the other attacking No8 next to Sarr given the former’s excellent performances of late.
Pedro Porro was rested against AZ Alkmaar last week and is back on the bench, with Radu Dragusin in at centre-half and Micky van de Ven at left-back.
