counterpart in the Vitesse Arnhem dugout, Nuno Espirito Santo is not bogged down by any pressing injury concern ahead of the trip to the Gelredome. On Thursday, the Tottenham Hotspur boss will only have to make do without two first-team players, with neither being a regular.

Matt Doherty, who has largely been relegated to performances in Europe, is likely to miss out with a knock while Ryan Sessegnon is recovering from a hamstring injury. In the former’s absence, Japhet Tanganga is expected to line up as the right-back for Tottenham, who will take up the shape of a 4-2-3-1.

On the left flank, Ben Davies ought to come into the side to make a rare start while at the heart of the Tottenham defence, Davinson Sanchez is expected to pair up with Joe Rodon. In goal, there is no looking past Pierluigi Gollini, who has made some impression already for Spurs.

Up ahead in midfield, Harry Winks will be handed a rare chance to impress, with the out of favour midfielder pairing up with Giovani Lo Celso in the double pivot. The duo will largely keep things tight in the middle of the park while aiming to recycle possession smartly.

The creative thrust, though, will be provided by Bryan Gil and Steven Bergwijn, with Dele Alli being the third man in the attacking line behind the central striker, who ought to be Dane Scarlett, as he continues to claw his way back to top form.

Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Gollini; Tanganga, Sanchez, Rodon, Davies; Lo Celso, Winks; Gil, Alli, Bergwijn; Scarlett

在左翼，本·戴维斯应该会出现在首发位置，而在热刺的核心位置，桑切斯将会和乔·罗登搭档。在进球方面，没有人能超越戈里尼，他已经给热刺留下了一些印象。

在中场领先的情况下，哈里·温克斯将会得到一个难得的机会来表现自己，这位失宠的中场将会和洛塞尔索搭档在双轴上。这对搭档将在很大程度上保持比赛的紧张，同时巧妙地回收控球权。

布莱恩·吉尔和史蒂芬·博格维因将会提供创造性的推动力，而德勒·阿里将会是在中锋后面的第三个锋线球员，而中锋应该是戴恩·斯卡利，他将继续努力恢复到最佳状态。
