Guglielmo Vicario has been in goal for all of Spurs’ matches under Frank and has kept four clean sheets in six matches.
Kinsky has barely featured since having a run in the side after arriving in January, but Frank has confirmed the 22-year-old will be one of the changes as he rotates his Spurs side.
“Antonin will start tomorrow, so I'm very happy with him as a goalkeeper,” Frank said at his pre-match press conference.
“I think he's a very good goalkeeper and I think he's got very good potential. For any player that is not starting, they're not happy. Some probably understand it a bit more, or outfielder sometimes.
“The easy thing for Antonin was to stay at his former club and now it's a bigger stage, a bigger challenge. I think he's got a great future here at Tottenham. I like what I see from him. He just needs to keep training well and doing well.”
Kevin Danso slots into defence alongside Archie Gray, a natural midfielder who fills in at centre-back with Ben Davies and Kota Takai still out injured.
Lucas Bergvall drops to the bench, too, having started three games in a week.
With Dominic Solanke out with an ankle issue and Randal Kolo Muani yet to recover from a dead leg, Mathys Tel starts up front as he looks to kick his Spurs career into gear.
Jun’ai Byfield and Luca Williams-Barnett are among the academy stars named to the bench.
“I think it would be a great opportunity to have some of the younger players on the bench and I always think it's a privileged position to be in if you can give anyone a debut, especially a young player,” Frank said.
“That's always special and a big moment, so definitely I'm open for that.”
