- The likes of Tiote, Santon, Gouffran, Debuchy and Sammy Ameobi were all left out of Europa Cup action but should return to contention.
- Hatem Ben Arfa has returned to training but may not be rushed back just yet, while Cabaye and Krul both picked up knocks on Thursday and will be assessed prior to kick-off.
- The French duo of Yanga-Mbiwa and Haidara, who made his debut against Metalist, impressed in helping to keep a clean sheet and could be rewarded with starts.
- Jose Fonte could be back in contention having been out of action in the New Year with a knee injury, while Ramirez and Shaw should be back in contention.
- Pochettino may well, however, name the same XI that picked up a memorable 3-1 win over Southampton last time out.
- In that case the likes of Hooiveld, Fox and Davis will keep their places in the starting line-up.
