Team News: Danny Rose back for Tottenham Hotspur

Danny Rose returns to the Tottenham Hotspur defence for the visit of Swansea City.

Danny Rose has returned to the Tottenham Hotspur defence for the visit of Swansea City this afternoon.

Kevin Wimmer drops down to the bench as Rose regains his place at left-back after being suspended for last week's defeat at Chelsea.

The change is just one from manager Mauricio Pochettino from that loss as Spurs look to close the gap on the top four.

Harry Kane continues up front as a lone striker, with a three-pronged attacking support from Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and Son Heung-min.

For the visiting Swans, Bob Bradley makes two changes to the side that gave him his first victory as manager in a 5-4 thriller over fellow strugglers Crystal Palace last Saturday.

Mike van der Hoorn earns a recall to the defence at the expense of Federico Fernandez, who misses out with a broken toe, while Jefferson Montero is preferred to Wayne Routledge up front.

Captain Leon Britton starts the game on the bench after missing two games with a calf injury, but there is no place in the matchday squad for Ki Sung-yeung, who suffered a broken toe in the victory over Palace.

Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris; Walker, Dier, Vertonghen, Rose; Dembele, Wanyama; Eriksen, Alli, Son; Kane
Subs: Vorm, Wimmer, Carter-Vickers, Winks, Sissoko, Onomah, Nkoudou

Swansea City: Fabianski; Taylor, Amat, van der Hoorn, Naughton; Fer, Cork, Fulton; Montero, Sigurdsson, Barrow
Subs: Nordfelt, Rangel, Mawson, Britton, Routledge, Borja, Llorente
