Fernando Llorente is expected to play in attack for Spurs, who will still not turn to forgotten striker Vincent Janssen despite their current injury problems.
Janssen's last appearance for Spurs was as an 89th-minute replacement against Chelsea in August 2017 and the Dutch striker hasn't played a single game this season.
"I think it's so clear that now it's one year and a half that he's not in our plans," Mauricio Pochettino said.
"He's not in Tottenham's plans. Not in just the manager's plans but the club's plan.
"Eighteen months ago we took the decision for him to try to find a different place to play because for different reasons it didn't work.
"For different reasons that professional relationship isn't working and we need to find a solution. We are trying to find the resolution."
