Tottenham have made two changes for the trip to Nottingham Forest.
Spurs are enjoying something of a mini-revival after back-to-back wins at home to Brentford and Slavia Prague.
They have scored five times without reply in those two games to give head coach Thomas Frank some breathing space.
Xavi Simons has also started to find some momentum after scoring his first two goals in a Spurs shirt, and keeps his place alongside Archie Gray in midfield.
Frank is still figuring out his best attacking combination, and today Randal Kolo Muani comes in for Wilson Odobert.
In midfield, Rodrigo Bentancur replaces Joao Palhinha.
Dominic Solanke is still not ready to return for Tottenham against Nottingham Forest, despite teasing a comeback on social media.
Solanke has been out since August with an ankle injury but this week posted an image of himself playing football with the caption of two hourglasses.
Frank, who has said is bored of questions on Solanke’s continued absence, says will only provide an update on the striker’s fitness when he is training fully with the team.
Destiny Udogie is out until January after suffering a hamstring injury and his absence leaves Spurs short of options at full-back, with Djed Spence and Pedro Porro facing a busy festive period.
