Fraser Forster is likely to retain the gloves for the competition, with Tottenham’s only other goalkeeping options coming in the form of Alfie Whiteman and Brandon Austin.

We believe that Pedro Porro will be given his second Spurs start against the Blades, with Ivan Perisic also returning on the left side. Across the back three, Clement Lenglet and Eric Dier remain from the 2-0 win over Chelsea, while Davinson Sanchez comes in to give Cristian Romero a rest.

In the centre of midfield, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg pairs with Pape Matar Sarr this time instead of goalscoring Oliver Skipp.

Up front, Antonio Conte and Cristian Stellini opt for Heung-min Son and Arnaut Danjuma on either side of Harry Kane, instead of Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski. It will certainly be a strong bench for the North Londoners, who boast far greater depth in forward areas these days.
