Defenders available for Spurs

Defenders Kyle Naughton and Federico Fazio return to the Tottenham squad for the Capital One Cup fourth-round visit of Brighton on Wednesday.

Full-back Naughton is back after missing the last three matches with an ankle injury, while Fazio is available again following a one-match suspension. Nabil Bentaleb (ankle) and Kyle Walker (pelvis) remain sidelined, while Mauricio Pochettino must decide whether to give Europa League success stories such as Harry Kane another starting chance.

Tottenham provisional squad: Lloris, Vorm, Naughton, Rose, Davies, Fazio, Vertonghen, Chiriches, Dier, Kaboul, Capoue, Stambouli, Paulinho, Dembele, Mason, Eriksen, Lennon, Townsend, Chadli, Lamela, Soldado, Adebayor, Kane.
