How will Tottenham line up vs Crystal Palace? Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen to start

Tottenham have lost Giovani Lo Celso to injury but welcome back a number of players from injury.

Despite the loss of Lo Celso, Mauricio Pochettino has options in attacking midfield and fellow Argentine Erik Lamela would be unfortunate to miss out along with Lucas Moura after a productive start to the campaign.

But with Dele Alli fit again - he made a cameo against Arsenal last time out - and Christian Eriksen still at the club, Pochettino will surely be tempted to opt for the pair’s guile against a Crystal Palace side who will be tough to break down.

Further back, Tanguy Ndombele’s return to fitness is a welcome boost and a minor injury to Davinson Sanchez looks to have spared the Spurs boss a headache over whether to play him or Jan Vertonghen.

The full-back positions are up for grabs but Kyle Walker-Peters and Danny Rose have started the season as first choice, with Ryan Sessegnon vying for his first minutes as a Spurs player.
