With that in mind, you can read the latest injury news here.
Spurs defender linked with surprise exit
Sergio Reguilon has been linked with a return to Real Madrid, according to reports.
The Spanish international joined Tottenham Hotspur from Real Madrid this summer and has made a strong early impression in North London.
Los Blancos have a buy-back option on the player and according to AS the club are planning for life without Marcelo.
The Brazilian is edging towards the end of his time at Real Madrid and it has seen some question the decision to let Reguilon leave.
AS state: “It should be clarified that Reguilon was transferred to the London team because [Zinedine] Zidane told the club this summer that he did not have him. He never loved him and that refusal to accept the enormous progression of a player who is already a starter for the Spanish national team and Tottenham is a mystery.”
They believe that will see the club trigger the buy-back option in his contract and re-sign the full-back.
Bent hails impact of Gareth Bale
Darren Bent has hailed the behind the scenes impact Gareth Bale has made at Tottenham Hotspur.
Bale returned to North London after a period with Real Madrid, and his loan signing captured the excitement of Spurs fans across the globe.
He made his long-awaited debut on Sunday against West Ham, but Bent hailed his influence behind the scenes.
“I was sure he would feature in some capacity. He’s fit and ready to go,” he told Football Insider. “It’s exciting, for me, the moment he came in the building it gave everyone a lift.
“We look at Son’s performances since Bale has come in, you look at Harry Kane’s performances, he’s been outstanding as well.
“Spurs as a whole, that 6-1 victory over Manchester United was absolutely superb.
“He’s given everyone a lift and I hope we see 70-80% of the Bale we know, I know we’re not going to see that Bale from the San Siro with that blistering pace but the fact that he’s back and he’s featuring is huge.”
