Cristian Stellini is preparing for his first game at home since Antonio Conte was sacked with an important clash against fellow European challengers Brighton on Saturday. The visitors are just four points behind Spurs in fifth with two games in hand.
It may well prove to be the perfect audition for Roberto De Zerbi as he continues to be linked with taking over in north London. He will be looking to make it three games in a row without a win for Tottenham, who come into this off the back of the disappointing draw with Everton.
Amongst the spate of injuries in the squad, Stellini will have to get through the game without Lucas Moura. The Brazilian was sent off against Everton on Monday for a poor challenge late on in the game and is suspended for three matches having received a straight red card.
