A very quick turnaround for Tottenham Hotspur as their EFL Cup clash with Fulham is only about 48 hours away now. Destiny Udogie is probably doubt for this match, due to an unspecified knock, but he likely wouldn’t even be named to the team here anyway, as this will be a squad rotation side.
Look for manager Ange Postecoglu to make wholesale changes from the side that beat Bournemouth yesterday. The list of injury absentees remains the same from yesterday’s big win at AFC Bournemouth.

Ryan Sessegnon, Bryan Gil, Rodrigo Betancur and Tanguy Ndombele all remain sidelined, and working towards recovery from their respective injuries. Meanwhile reserve players such as Ben Davies, OIiver Skipp and Ivan Perisic could come into the first team here.
You already know that No. 2 Fraser Forster will be starting in between the sticks.
Elsewhere four players who are not first-teamers, (and some of them are quite fringe actually) looking for new homes are Davinson Sanchez, Sergio Reguilon, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Giovani Lo Celso. All could feature here as speculation abounds about their respective club futures.
Is this is a chance to impress a new potential employer.
