What's more, manager Mauricio Pochettino - whose line-up is likely to feature no fewer than four former Ajax players in Christian Eriksen, Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld and Davinson Sánchez - has a raft of absentees to contend with, including key men Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. And while Spurs were busy succumbing to Michail Antonio's second-half goal on Saturday, an all-but injury-free Ajax were enjoying the weekend off, after the entire round of Eredivisie fixtures was postponed to help them prepare for their assignment in North London.

Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah scored for the Reds, while a late-goal from Jordan Henderson was ruled out by VAR. On top of that, the likes of Thiago, Alisson Becker, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Kostas Tsimikas are also sidelined. Dusan Tadic scored twice, while the likes of Mohammed Kudus, Davy Klaassen, and Antony added their names on the scoresheet and sealed all three points for Erik ten Hag’s side.

They are heading into this game on the back of a convincing 5-1 victory against Heerenveen at the weekend in the Dutch league.
