Pedro Porro (muscle) and Sandro Tonali (knock) will return for Tottenham Hotspur, after missing out on the midweek EFL Cup action.

Meanwhile, the fit-again James Maddison is also fine after two substitute appearances in the last week.

“Porro, Tonali, Maddison, all are available to play. Normally, we have to understand the situation in terms of physical condition, but all of them are ready.” – Roberto De Zerbi

“James is working with the team in the last 10, 15 days, maybe less than 15 days. And even if he’s a technical player, he needs to be fit, to stay in a good condition. When he arrives to the best condition, he’s very important for us, as a personality, as a characteristic, as a quality, as an experience. The quality of his passes are different than the others. Maybe just Kudus, but Kudus also is not used to playing in the same [number 10 role]. We have to see. Mateus [Fernadnes], he can play as a number 10, but he has to be more sure in the last decision, the shot and the pass. And also, Gallagher is [an option].” – Roberto De Zerbi on how close James Maddison is to a start

Mykhailo Mudryk (ankle), Xavi Simons (knee), Wilson Odobert (knee) and Dejan Kulusevski (knee) remain sidelined.

“We have to manage Deki in the best way we can, with the medical staff, physical staff. But it’s a great thing for us because he’s a good player, he’s a good guy. He deserves to play again. We have to work day by day. Also, for Deki, it’s important the international break, because when he will be at the top of condition and pass over the injury, I think it’s a great signing, a new signing for us, another new signing.” – Roberto De Zerbi on Dejan Kulusevski, who is making a part return to training

However, in good news, Destiny Udogie (muscle) made his return on Wednesday night in the cup.
