Tottenham Hotspur team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Portsmouth

Tottenham Hotspur will endeavour to book their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup when they tackle League One side Portsmouth in North London on Saturday lunchtime.

The Lilywhites enter the contest on the back of a convincing 4-0 Premier League win over Crystal Palace, with Harry Kane bagging a brace while Son Heung-min and Matt Doherty also got in on the act.

Tottenham have eight FA Cups on display in their cabinet, but their last success came all the way back in 1991, and they were dumped out by Middlesbrough in the fifth round last year.

Lucas Moura's season has been disrupted by a long-standing tendon problem, and the Brazilian is still struggling to put a permanent end to the issue, rendering him unavailable once more.

Yves Bissouma is now back from a one-game ban served in the thumping of Palace, meaning that Tottenham have no players suspended for this match.
