Tottenham make the trip to Preston North End in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday and Antonio Conte is expected to make changes to his side to face the Championship team.
Spurs visit Deepdale for the first time since 2009 on Saturday evening and following Monday's 1-0 win at Fulham, Conte can either go strong or make changes because the north London club will not be back in action until next Sunday when they host Manchester City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
It is a game Conte and the players will not be taking lightly after their FA Cup exit at Championship side Middlesbrough last March. The Tottenham boss has to balance picking a strong team, which he can because of that gap between fixtures, but also giving some minutes to others to ensure they are sharper if called upon in the weeks to come.
