Tottenham Hotspur host Huddersfield Town in the Premier League this afternoon…

Spurs head into the game having beaten Manchester City 1-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday night, but are counting the cost as two players miss out with injury.

Dele Alli and Harry Kane both picked up injuries on Tuesday night, whilst Kieran Trippier isn’t fit to start having taken a knock against City.

Hugo Lloris starts in goal, with Kyle Walker-Peters and Juan Foyth coming into the back five alongside Jan Vertonghen, Davinson Sanchez and Ben Davies.

Victor Wanyama is given a start in central midfield alongside Moussa Sissoko, with Christian Eriksen supporting front two Lucas Moura and Fernando Llorente.

Son Heung-min is only named on the bench, alongside Paulo Gazzaniga, Toby Alderweireld, Danny Rose, Oliver Skipp, George Marsh and Trippier.

Meanwhile, already-relegated Huddersfield go with Ben Hamer in goal, with Erik Durm, Christopher Schindler, Jon Gorenc Stankovic, Terence Kongolo and Chris Lowe seemingly making up the back five.

Elias Kachunga, Jonathan Hogg, Juninho Bacuna and Florent Hadergjonaj may feature as a four in midfield, leaving Karlan Grant in attack.

Aaron Mooy is only on the bench, alongside Joel Coleman, Mathias Jorgensen, Tommy Smith, Danny Williams, Steve Mounie and ex-Spurs talent Alex Pritchard.
