Kyle Naughton and Scott Parker drop to the substitutes' bench, as Aaron Lennon and Benoit Assou-Ekotto return to the starting lineup for Tottenham Hotspur against Southampton today.

Double Player of the Year Gareth Bale also starts for Spurs, and Moussa Dembele has shaken off an injury to start.

Morgan Schneiderlin will miss the game through injury for the visitors, while a knock means that Maya Yoshida is relegated to the bench.

Spurs: Lloris; Walker, Dawson, Vertonghen, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Dembele, Huddlestone, Dempsey; Bale, Defoe

Southampton: Boruc; Clyne, Fonte, Hooiveld, Shaw; Cork, S. Davis, Guly, Lallana; Rodriguez, Lambert
