Spurs set for boost as players set to return following Europa League victory
Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou will welcome back Antonin Kinsky and Djed Spence, who were ineligible for Thursday's Europa League win over Elfsborg, for Sunday's trip across London to Brentford.
Spence is likely to come in at left-back, allowing Ben Davies a rest, but he could also replace Pedro Porro on the opposite flank.
Key centre-half Micky van de Ven is not expected to play 90 minutes but should start again after returning from a hamstring injury, with Archie Gray likely to be needed next to the Dutchman after Radu Dragusin's injury.
Pape Matar Sarr could drop out of the XI after labouring through Thursday's match, with Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur and Lucas Bergvall also competing for places in midfield.
Mikey Moore could return to the bench despite opening his Spurs account against Eflsborg, with Dejan Kulusevski expected to come back into the front three alongside Heung-min Son and Richarlison.
Moore is set to be joined on the bench by Dane Scarlett and Damola Ajayi, who also scored against the Swedes.
Boost: Micky van de Ven is fit again for Tottenham
