Tottenham Hotspur starting XI: Lloris; Doherty, Sanchez, Dier, Davies; Hojbjerg, Winks; Bale, Alli, Moura; Kane.

Tottenham Hotspur substitutes: Hart, Alderweireld, Reguilon, Sissoko, Lamela, Son, Vinicius.

Tottenham Hotspur are back in action tonight as they face Stoke City in the Carabao Cup, with a place in the semi-finals up for grabs.

Spurs saw Arsenal crash out on Tuesday night, and having also watched Newcastle United lose to Championship opposition, they will be desperate to avoid their own exit.

Hugo Lloris starts in goal for Spurs tonight, whilst Eric Dier is the only defender to keep his place from the 2-0 defeat to Leicester City.

Matt Doherty, Davinson Sanchez and Ben Davies all come into the back four, with Harry Winks given a start alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in midfield.

Dele Alli is handed a rare start as the number 10, with Lucas Moura and Gareth Bale either side of striker Harry Kane.

Erik Lamela is back on the bench after more than six weeks out, though it’s a surprise to see Carlos Vinicius on the bench rather than starting.

Joe Hart, Toby Alderweireld, Sergio Reguilon, Moussa Sissoko and Son Heung-min make up the rest of the Spurs bench today.
