TEAM NEWS

Nathan Jones provided a team news update in in his pre-match press conference. The gaffer said: "Matty Godden and Will Mannion are progressing like everyone else. The good news is that Charlie Kelman and Josh Edwards have stepped right back and they are now integrated in training with us, so that is a positive. The others are a little bit further away."

Spurs are set to be without Xavi Simons (knee), Mohamed Kudus (knee), Dejan Kulusevski (knee) and Wilson Odobert (knee).

Pedro Porro, Micky van de Ven, Pape Matar Sarr and James Maddison all have knocks, while new signing Sávio may also feature for the Lilywhites.
