Since this article was published, this game has been called off due to a coronavirus outbreak in the Leicester squad. A new date for the game will be confirmed in due course.
Tottenham Hotspur still have a number of COVID-19 concerns to work around for their return to action against Leicester City on Thursday in the Premier League.
The Lilywhites have seen their last two games postponed due to coronavirus, with Bryan Gil, Emerson Royal, Son Heung-min, Oliver Skipp, Dane Scarlett and Lucas Moura all believed to have tested positive.
Antonio Conte also has Cristian Romero's injury to worry about, but Sergio Reguilon is expected to shake off a knock sustained in the 3-0 win over Norwich City earlier this month.
The Spurs boss will still have most of his first-choice defence available, with Hugo Lloris, Davinson Sanchez, Eric Dier and Ben Davies all expected to start for the Lilywhites.
Japhet Tanganga ought to start on the right with Emerson out, with Reguilon on the opposite side, assuming he shakes off his injury scare.
Harry Winks could earn a start alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg if Skipp does not make the cut, meaning that Tanguy Ndombele and the recently-recovered Giovani Lo Celso could be left on the bench once more.
It would not be a shock to see Dele Alli and Steven Bergwijn both handed starts in the final third, where Harry Kane will aim to build on a stellar record of 17 goals in 16 games versus Leicester.
Tottenham possible starting lineup: Lloris; Sanchez, Dier, Davies; Tanganga, Hojbjerg, Winks, Reguilon; Alli, Bergwijn; Kane
