Tottenham's injuries are gradually easing but the visit of Norwich is still expected to come too soon for Hugo Lloris, Ben Davies and Tanguy Ndombele, while long-term absentees Harry Kane and Moussa Sissoko remain sidelined.
A first away clean sheet in over a year at Watford is likely to prompt an unchanged back four, with Japhet Tanganga continuing as an 'inverted left-back'.
Harry Winks and Giovani Lo Celso was Jose Mourinho's eighth different midfield pairing in 15 matches but he could twist again against the Canaries, with the Argentine likely to be feeling the strain after consecutive starts last week.
That could open the door for Christian Eriksen to make (another) farewell appearance, even as the Dane edges closer to Inter Milan.
Mourinho may also opt to give Dele Alli a rest but he has few options to rotate in his front line.
Predicted Tottenham XI (4-2-3-1): Gazzaniga; Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Tanganga; Eriksen, Winks; Lamela, Alli, Son; Lucas.
