Heung-Min Son is set to make his Tottenham Hotspur debut against Sunderland, while Dele Alli makes his first start for the club.
The South Korean forward will hope to make an instant impact with Christian Eriksen still absent through injury. Nabil Bentaleb is also injured, so Ryan Mason drops deeper to accommodate Alli.
In defence Ben Davies replaces Danny Rose, who is named among the substitutes.
There was plenty of excitement on social media prior to the game with fans eager to see Spurs’ new look attack for the first time. Here’s the best of Twitter.
Good side. A shame that Eriksen & Nabil are out, should be enough to win despite that. #COYS

That team is three players (absent) away from our best eleven in my opinion. #COYS https://t.co/pgPzNYe0kz

Attacking line-up from Pochettino which is good to see. Would have gone for Rose over Davies at left-back however.

Why on earth is Rose not playing?!

Poch has flaws but you cannot deny how he gives places to those who warrant it. Alli has been a bright addition in every game so far.
