The Spurs boss, though, will be tempted to make a change in midfield.

Joao Palhinha started on the bench against Villarreal but made a significant impact when coming on to help Spurs hold on for victory, and there is every chance he comes into the starting team here.

Xavi Simons has started both his appearances for Tottenham so far on the left wing, which Frank has put down to wanting to keep a settled midfield providing the structure for the team.

The Dutchman could therefore continue out wide, with Lucas Bergvall and Pape Matar Sarr both in strong form and Frank keen on the reliability the pair offer at both ends of the pitch.

There is the potential for things to be freshened up at full-back. Djed Spence has started every match so far this season, but struggled against Villarreal and Destiny Udogie is pushing to earn his first start of the campaign.

Dominic Solanke remains out with an ankle injury, so Richarlison is expected to once again the lead the line.

Predicted Tottenham XI (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Palhinha, Sarr; Kudus, Bergvall, Simons; Richarlison

Injured: Takai, Dragusin, Bissouma, Maddison, Kulusevski, Solanke
