Mauricio Pochettino has been forced to make two changes to his Tottenham’s line-up for the trip to Leicester City as a result of injuries.
Kyle Walker (ankle) and Kieran Trippier (concussion) are both absent, so Eric Dier starts at right-back.
That means a return for Mousa Dembele in central midfield. The Belgian will partner Victor Wanyama, who scored against Manchester United last weekend.
It looks like Pochettino will deploy a 4-2-3-1, with Moussa Sissoko, Dele Alli and Heung-Min Son behind lone striker Harry Kane.
Christian Eriksen is given a well deserved rest, while there are places on the bench for two young players: Filip Lesniak and Sam Shashoua.
Spurs have nothing to play for going into this one having already sealed second place in the White Hart Lane finale last weekend.
Leicester also aren’t in desperate need of points having secured their Premier League survival some time ago.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to all the team news, particularly Sissoko’s selection.

Poch starting Sissoko in order to tell Barca they need to pay top dollar for the most naturally talented French footballer on the planet.

#thfc Not too much creativity required from Pochettino after all. Dembele steps in to keep things simple.https://t.co/cyKefHg9HN

Would expect the formation to change a fair bit during the game. Dier, Sissoko, Son and Alli are all very versatile.

Great to see Shashoua on the bench – reward for an excellent two seasons at U18 level. https://t.co/fnyIqOSim2

Squad doesn't surprise me at all. Full of strength so travelling fans aren't conned by reserves.

Lets hope sissoko gets a hat trick, 2 assists & saves a penalty, then madrid might pay £60m for him

Really hope Sissoko proves me wrong today ?

I don't understand why Sissoko gets to play over N'koudou because GKN hasn't hardly been given a chance, surely something is going on

Don't get why so many of you hate Sissoko. Man's done nothing wrong. Its not his fault he doesn't get to play much & is understandably rusty
