Following the 1-1 draw at Everton last weekend, Toby Alderweireld, Eric Dier, Tom Carroll and Christian Eriksen are the only players who keep their place for Spurs’ FA Cup meeting with Leicester.
Danny Rose captains the side, while Heung-Min Son leads the front line with Harry Kane rested.
Nabil Bentaleb only makes the bench. Andros Townsend isn’t even among the substitutes.
Leicester have also made a number of changes, likely due to the importance of Wednesday night’s Premier League meeting between the sides.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to all the team news.
Danny Rose captain well done son ????

A bit of rotation in there, but I'm liking the look of that XI. Nice to see Wimmer given a chance, would've liked to have seen Nabil start.

We all want to win every trophy but reality is that you can't do that by playing the same line up every game.

#coys Absence of Bentaleb is a big talking point. I've heard rumblings about an unwillingness to fight for his place — hard to ignore now.

Thrilled to see Rose captaining the side – testament to his character & maturity. Always speaks well off the pitch, clearly well thought of.

Never have and never will see the point in playing your reserve keeper without it being necessary.

So long, Andros.

If Bentaleb was deserving of a start, he would be getting one. Simple as that.

OK, who had "Tom Carroll first name on the teamsheet" and "Danny Rose captain" in the signs of the apocalypse sweepstake?

Bit of a pity we couldn't rest Alderweireld and Dier as well but that's some good rotation from Pochettino. Go on Onomah! Rose skipper too!

Pochettino is using Eric Dier as his test subject in an experiment to find out just how far the human body can be pushed, isn't he?

Expected changes. Would haven liked to have seen Bentaleb in there. Good to see Wimmer get a start.

Interesting that Winks is on the bench. Thought Bristol City were sniffing around him. Sure they'd not want him cup tied.

Fantastic to see Pochettino's continued trust in youth with giving Onomah a start & also giving Rose the captaincy, now for the win!
