With a trip to non-league Marine in the FA Cup on Sunday, Mourinho will feel comfortable in selecting many of his star players for this contest.

While Son Heung-min and Harry Kane should keep their roles in the team, Dele Alli and Lucas Moura could be recalled in place of Tanguy Ndombele and Steven Bergwijn.

A further alteration is likely to be made in midfield with Moussa Sissoko getting the nod ahead of either Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg or Harry Winks.

Matt Doherty will miss out for Spurs after receiving two yellow cards against Leeds United, putting Serge Aurier in line to make his first appearance since December 20.

On the opposite side of the defence, Ben Davies may keep his place on the back of Sergio Reguilon being one of three players to break coronavirus regulation over Christmas.

Although Mourinho may stick with the partnership of Toby Alderweireld and Eric Dier, it would come as a surprise if Davinson Sanchez does not come back into the team.

Giovani Lo Celso and Gareth Bale miss out with hamstring and calf injuries respectively.
