Mauricio Pochettino has no other injury worries to contend with but Moussa Dembele remains suspended as he serves the final of his six-match suspension.

You know how he is, last season at Newcastle and the Euros what he did was fantastic.

He is the fourth Tottenham player to reach the milestone after Sheringham, Robbie Keane and Jermain Defoe. “Tomorrow I decide if he’s in the squad (for Stoke) or not”.
