Tottenham have named their starting XI for this evening’s EFL Cup clash against Gillingham.

As expected Spurs have made changed to their side from their Premier League victory over Sunderland at the weekend.

One of these was enforced by the injury to Harry Kane, who hurt his ankle and was stretchered off at the weekend.

Here is a look at how Spurs line-up…

Confirmed line-up: Vorm; Trippier, Carter-Vickers, Wimmer, Davies. Carroll, Winks. Lamela, Onomah, Eriksen. Janssen

Substitutes: Whiteman (GK), Vertonghen, Walkes, Wanyama, Nkoudou, Edwards, Son

Opponents Gillingham currently sit in 13th place in the League One table with three wins from eight games.

They are coached by former Spurs player Justin Edinburgh, who has worked his way up after managing in non-league football.

Tottenham were eliminated at this stage of the competition last season by rivals Arsenal, but reached the final in 2014/15.

They will be hoping this more favourable draw will launch a similar run, providing they can avoid an upset this evening.
