There had been talk that Harry Kane would start the game as he looks to get off the mark for Spurs this season after going five club games without finding the net, but did help himself to a brace for the England national team against San Marino and Switzerland during the last international break.
However, he has been named on the substitutes bench alongside another new addition Clinton N’Jie.
