Dele Alli and Erik Lamela both started on the bench in the win at Brighton and could also be handed starts.

Sebastian Prodl and Stefano Okaka are both recovering from minor problems, and Miguel Britos (thigh) is also unavailable. Captain Troy Deeney, who played against Fulham with broken toes, will be rested. Winger Gerard Deulofeu (abdominal) and Tom Cleverley (Achilles) continue their recovery.
