Team News: Tottenham Hotspur make three changes

Spurs make three changes

Mauricio Pochettino has made three changes for Tottenham Hotspur's trip to APOEL in the Champions League this evening.

Harry Kane will lead the line for the London side in Cyprus as they look to build upon their impressive win over Borussia Dortmund at Wembley earlier this month.

Dele Alli is again absent for the European tie as he continues to serve out his three-match ban, meaning a recall for Son Heung-min alongside Moussa Sissoko in attacking support for Kane.

Christian Eriksen also misses the match after coming down with an illness, meaning recalls for Kieran Trippier and Harry Winks in the middle of the park alongside Eric Dier and Serge Aurier.

Ben Davies is deployed on the left of a back three tonight, with Jan Vertonghen suspended, while Davinson Sanchez and Toby Alderweireld keep their places and skipper Hugo Lloris is present between the posts.

For the hosts, meanwhile, Giorgos Donis makes four changes following the goalless draw at Aris last Friday, playing in an expected 4-3-2-1 formation.

Igor de Camargo leads the line with support from Ghayas Zahid and Efstathios Aloneftis, while Vinicius and Roland Sallai join Nuno Morais in the midfield as Agustin Farias drops to the bench and Lorenzo Ebicilio misses out with a calf injury.

Jesus Rueda and Roberto Lago are in for Giorgios Merkis and Nektarios Alexandrou in the back four alongside Praxitelis Vouros and Carlao, with Boy Waterman staying put between the posts.

APOEL: Waterman; Vourous, Rueda, Carlao, Roberto Lago; Morais, Sallai, Vinicius; Zahid, Aloneftis; De Camargo Subs: Gudino, Alexandrou, Merkis, Farias, Makris, Pote, Antoniou

Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris; Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies; Trippier, Dier, Winks, Aurier; Sissoko, Son; Kane Subs: Vorm, Foyth, Walker-Peters, Oakley-Boothe, Georgiou, Nkoudou, Llorente
