Thomas Frank has named his Tottenham Hotspur team for the Carabao Cup third round tie against Doncaster Rovers.
The League One side make the trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this evening having beaten Accrington Stanley 2-0 in the last round.
Spurs come into the game on the back of the 2-2 draw against Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday.
Frank will be keen to avoid a potential banana skin against lower league opposition and keep the strong early season momentum behind him.
What is the Tottenham team vs Doncaster Rovers?
Frank revealed in Tuesday’s pre-match press conference that Antonin Kinsky would start in goal in place of Guglielmo Vicario to give the 22-year-old his first minutes of the season.
Randal Kolo Muani and Ben Davies remain injured having both picked up small knocks which also ruled them out of the draw at Brighton.
Dominic Solanke and Kota Takai have both returned to training, but are not involved this evening, along with long-term absentees Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison.
This is the Tottenham team that starts under the lights in North London this evening:
Who do Tottenham play next in the Premier League?
Tottenham turn their attention back to the Premier League on Saturday when pointless Wolves are the visitors to N17 in a late evening-kick-off.
Hopefully, the Spurs players can put the game against Doncaster behind them early on and bring off some of the players who are likely to be involved on Saturday to keep them relatively fresh.
