Tottenham Hotspur starting XI: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Doherty, Hojbjerg, Winks, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Son, Kane.

Tottenham Hotspur substitutes: Gollini, Royal, Reguilon, Rodon, Sanchez, White, Devine, Bergwijn, Scarlett.

Tottenham Hotspur return to action this evening, travelling up to the North East to take on Championship side Middlesbrough in the FA Cup.

Spurs have seen off Morecambe and Brighton in previous rounds and are now hoping to advance past Middlesbrough tonight.

This won’t be an easy night for Tottenham by any stretch of the imagination, and Antonio Conte has named an incredibly strong side.

Hugo Lloris starts in goal for Tottenham, operating behind a back three of Cristian Romero, Eric Dier and Ben Davies.

Matt Doherty and Ryan Sessegnon are the wing backs tonight, with Harry Winks partnering Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in midfield.

Harry Kane leads the attack, with Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min featuring either side of the England star.

That means it’s an unchanged starting XI from the team that beat Leeds United 4-0 on Saturday afternoon.

Lucas Moura remains unavailable with a knock, but Pierluigi Gollini is back after an illness.

Gollini joins Emerson Royal, Sergio Reguilon, Joe Rodon, Davinson Sanchez, Harvey White, Alfie Devine, Steven Bergwijn and Dane Scarlett on the Tottenham bench.
