Tottenham have been on an incredible run in the Premier League and will be hoping to translate their form to European outings as well. Spurs picked a 3-1 win over Aston Villa last time out, with the win extending their unbeaten run in the league to 10 games.
They however have been suffering in the European competition with a defeat at the hands of Anderlecht in their last Europa League encounter leaving them third in Group J.
Andros Townsend will not be made available for selection after the winger faced repercussions for misbehaving with the team's fitness coach with Mauricio Pochettino warning to maintain discipline if he is to continue playing for Tottenham.
"Because of [the incident on] Monday, he is not available for selection," Pochettino said.
"When you behave in the wrong way, you always need to pay. Discipline is very important to me.
"We have a young squad who can make mistakes but when you cross the limit it's important to stop that.
"Sometimes when you don't play as much as you expect, I can understand it, but it's not the way to impress the manager.
"He needs to learn about football, which isn't just playing the game. He needs to learn about behaviour, discipline. You need to have the responsibility of a professional.
"If Andros Townsend is in the squad, it means we believe in him and that he can give us good things. After that, it is up to the player to show me I am wrong."
Anderlecht on the other hand suffered a major setback with defender Ivan Obradovic ruled out for six months after suffering a knee injury. Dennis Praet has also been ruled out of the match with a muscle injury. Son Heung-min and Nabil Bentaleb might be fit to face the Belgian side but are not expected to be risked with a game against arch rivals Arsenal on Sunday.
