Tottenham will now fully focus on their assault on the Premier League, with Crystal Palace as their next opponents. Spurs are fresh off a good Europa League group stage campaign, topping their group. They are on a great run, winning 3 of their last 5 games.
Palace on the other hand have had a mixed bit run, winning just two of their last five, but they did manage to swat aside West Brom 5-1 in their last game. A Spurs victory looks the most likely outcome given the form and quality of the away team.
Not a lot of injury problems for Mourinho to deal with as Erik Lamela is the only player ruled out with a foot injury.
The veteran French custodian will resume his duties and is likely to continue starting given there is a stack of league games to come.
Should return to his full-back role after playing the last one at wing-back.
Did not play any part in the last game but is expected to start this one.
Much like Dier, Alderweireld was given the day off in the last outing but should return here.
Serge Aurier’s participation remains a doubt, which means Doherty continues in his place.
Was only a substitute in the midweek game but will likely be afforded a start.
The summer signing was given some much deserved rest after being excluded from the last game entirely. Should be fresh and raring to go again.
Ndombele didn’t play a big part in the last game but might just be thrown on from the start here.
The South Korean has been one of their most important players this season and Mourinho will be hoping he continues in the same way.
With Bale still not looking his best, Bergwijn has done well to keep his place on the right.
Spurs’ talisman, Harry Kane is in great form this season and has contributed goals at a rapid rate this season.
