Andre Villas-Boas makes four changes to his Tottenham Hotspur side to face Dinamo Tbilisi in the Europa League, with Etienne Capoue making his full debut.

Kyle Walker and Nacer Chadli are demoted to the bench, while Gareth Bale, who is believed to be poised to sign for Real Madrid, was not included in the squad.
