Spurs meanwhile - having suffered a devestating late 2-1 defeat away to Inter Milan in the Champions League midweek - made five changes to that team.

Paulo Gazzaniga came in for just his second Premier League start for the club with goalkeeper Michel Vorm not travelling.

Kieran Tripper, Danny Rose, Toby Alderweireld and Lucas Moura all also returned to the starting line-up.

Dele Alli on his return from a hamstring problem, picked up while on England duty, was named on the Spurs bench.
