Jose Mourinho has named a strong Tottenham XI for this evening's FA Cup clash against Everton.
Despite the Lilywhites facing a tricky game in the Premier League on Saturday evening away at in-form Man City, the boss has resisted the temptation of resting all of his big guns ahead of the match at the Etihad Stadium.
Following his return from injury at the weekend in the win over West Brom, Harry Kane starts on the bench this evening as Steven Bergwijn comes in, with Son Heung-min playing through the middle.
Matt Doherty is the only other change from the weekend as he replaces the injured Serge Aurier at right-back.
There is some good news for Spurs on Merseyside with Dele Alli returning to the matchday squad for the first time in a month following a tendon injury.
However, there is no place in the squad for Gareth Bale.
Facing a tough tie at Goodison Park this evening as they look to make the final eight of the FA Cup, Mourinho is hoping his side are still competing in all four competitions come the end of the season despite the fixture congestion it will bring.
"I hope so, I want to be in the cups," said the 58-year-old. "If we can arrive in the last part of the season and have the final and apart from the final, Europa League and FA Cup matches, I will be very happy.
"Difficult, yes. Very demanding for the players, yes of course.
"Everybody depends a lot on the availability of the players, the fatigue, I prefer that than not. Let's see in a positive way and fight."
Here is the Tottenham team Mourinho has chosen:
Tottenham XI vs Everton: Lloris, Doherty, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies, Hojbjerg, Ndombele, Lamela, Lucas, Bergwijn, Son
Subs: Hart, Dier, Rodon, Tanganga, Winks, Sissoko, Dele, Kane, Vinicius
