Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has named an unchanged side from that which picked up a 1-1 draw against Everton in their last Premier League outing.

Despite making wholesale changes for Leicester City’s FA Cup visit last Sunday, the Argentinian coach has kept faith in his regular starting 11 for this league meeting.

Mousa Dembele, who has been out with a foot injury, returns to the bench, which also features youngster Joshua Onomah.

Shinji Okazaki is rewarded for scoring from the bench at White Hart Lane in Sunday’s 2-2 draw and handed a start by Claudio Ranieri.

His inclusion represents the only change from the side which drew 0-0 with Bournemouth in their last league fixture, with Leonardo Ulloa dropping to the bench.

Line-ups

Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris, Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies; Carroll, Dier; Lamela, Eriksen, Alli; Kane

Substitutes: Vorm, Trippier, Wimmer, Rose, Dembele, Onomah, Son

Leicester City: Schmeichel, Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs, Mahrez, Kanté, Drinkwater, Albrighton, Okazaki, Vardy

Substitutes: Schwarzer, King, Gray, Ulloa, Dyer, Wasilewski, Inler
