Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has made eight changes to the side which beat Sunderland at the weekend for tonight's FA Cup third round replay at Leicester City.

Harry Kane is one of several names to be left out of the starting line-up, but the 22-year-old striker is selected as a substitute. Christian Eriksen, who scored twice in the 4-1 home win over the Black Cats, retains his place, as does Erik Lamela.

Elsewhere, Michel Vorm starts in goal ahead of Hugo Lloris and Eric Dier moves to centre-half alongside Kevin Wimmer.

Claudio Rainieri only retains goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and midfielder Danny Drinkwater following his side's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.

Riyad Mahrez, who missed a penalty at Villa Park, drops to the bench. Shinji Okazaki, who scored his side's goal on Saturday, is also named among the substitutes.

There is no place in the matchday squad for Jamie Vardy but Gokhan Inler, Ben Chilwell and new signing Demarai Gray are all handed starts.
