Team News: Lucas Moura makes first Tottenham Hotspur start in FA Cup trip to Rochdale

Moura makes first Spurs start

Lucas Moura has been named in the Tottenham Hotspur starting XI for the first time in Sunday's FA Cup fifth-round clash at Rochdale.

Toby Alderweireld is also among the starters following his absence in both the North London derby win over Arsenal and the draw at Juventus in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Harry Kane, meanwhile, has shaken off a knock to earn a place on the Spurs bench, with Fernando Llorente leading the line for the visitors.

All in all, Mauricio Pochettino has made 11 changes to the side that drew 2-2 in Turin as Tottenham bid to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

Rochdale boss Keith Hill, meanwhile, has made one change from the side which suffered a 3-2 defeat to Bristol Rovers in League One last Tuesday.

On-loan Chesterfield defender Scott Wiseman is cup-tied and is replaced by Harrison McGahey, while there is also a place for 16-year-old schoolboy Daniel Adshead on the bench.

Rochdale: Lillis; McGahey, McNulty, Delaney; Rafferty, Cannon, Camps, Kitching, Done; Humphrys, Henderson Subs: Ntlhe, Rathbone, Thompson, Inman, Davies, Moore, Adshead

Tottenham Hotspur: Vorm; Trippier, Alderweireld, Foyth, Rose; Wanyama, Winks; Sissoko, Moura, Son; Llorente Subs: Gazzaniga, Sanchez, Walker-Peters, Dier, Alli, Lamela, Kane
