The big team selection question for Jose Mourinho is whether to continue with wantaway Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen.
The Dane is free to sign a pre-contract agreement with an overseas club from January 1 but underlined his ongoing value with a goal at Norwich.
On balance, Mourinho should probably resist starting Eriksen, particularly given the club’s desire to sell him this month, which could lead to a third consecutive start for Ryan Sessegnon or a first start since October for Erik Lamela.
Tanguy Ndombele will surely continue in midfield after Mourinho described his performance at Norwich as “absolutely phenomenal” and he could be partnered by Eric Dier, Harry Winks or Moussa Sissoko, with the latter two available again after suspension.
Dier will probably get the nod but Sissoko could move into the front three, with Heung-min Son serving the final game of his three-match ban
Lucas is also pushing to return to the XI, so for the first time in a couple of weeks, it feels like Mourinho has some really tough decisions to make.
Tottenham predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Gazzaniga; Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen; Ndombele, Dier; Sissoko, Alli, Sessegnon; Kane.
