Centre-back: Jan Vertonghen
Vertonghen did not play a minute of Tottenham’s preseason friendly programme, so Pochettino may see tonight’s match as an ideal opportunity to give the Belgian some much-needed game time.
Centre-back: Michael Dawson
Younes Kaboul and Eric Dier, who will be needed to play at right-back, will probably be saved for Sunday. Zeki Fryers could come off the bench to replace Dawson or Vertonghen in the second half tonight.
