Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to maintain their excellent run of recent form when they lock horns with Bulgarian outfit Ludogorets in the Europa League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this evening.
Spurs, who climbed to the top of the Premier League table last weekend, defeating Manchester City 2-0 thanks to goals from Heung-Min Son and Giovani Lo Celso, enter tonight's tussle in north London having won six of their last seven matches in all competitions.
On Sunday, Spurs face a mouthwatering Premier League clash with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, meaning head coach Jose Mourinho has named his side for this evening's clash with Ludogorets with an eye on Sunday's trip across London.
In total, the Portuguese chief has made 10 changes to the side that defeated City at the weekend, with only Tanguy Ndombele surviving the chop.
Mourinho has handed starts to the likes of Joe Hart, Davinson Sanchez, Gareth Bale and even Dele Alli.
The latter's inclusion in the starting line-up means he has been rewarded with his first start since the 1-0 defeat to Royal Antwerp last month, which saw him hauled off at the midway stage of the contest.
However, his inclusion in the starting line-up this evening has certainly caught the attentions of Spurs' supporters, who have today discovered that a small section of them will be able to attend next Sunday's north London derby against Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Reacting to the news that Mourinho has included Alli, as well as defender Japhet Tanganga, in the starting line-up, no shortage of Spurs fans have flooded social media with their delight.
Here is how some of them reacted on Twitter...
Alli, who was closely linked with an exit from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium during the summer, will likely be desperate to grab this opportunity with both hands and force his way back into Mourinho's plans.
