Antonio Conte will have to decide if he wants to make any rotations to his starting XI when Tottenham travel to play Middlesbrough in the FA Cup fifth round on Tuesday.
Spurs go into the game on the back of a confidence-boosting 4-0 Premier League victory over Leeds on Saturday and have beaten Morecambe and Brighton to get to this stage in the cup.
The Championship side's last league game ended in a 3-2 defeat at Barnsley but they beat Manchester United on penalties to get to the fifth round and won't come into the game without a fight.
On Monday, Conte gave an update on his injured players, in his pre-match press conference
"It was the same, we have the same players, the same squad that we faced for Leeds," he admitted. "No Skipp, no Tanganga, no Moura, no Bentancur."
Although the Italian didn't mention him, Pierluigi Gollini has been absent from the last two matchday squads due to illness and it seem likely he also won't be available for the trip to the Riverside Stadium.
With these absentees confirmed, football.london takes a look at how Conte could line-up his Tottenham side.
Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Doherty, Hojbjerg, Winks, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Son; Kane
Gollini has made ten appearances for Spurs since his arrival and has featured in a number of cup games but his likely absence means the skipper will probably be the man in goal again on Tuesday.
With the squad performing well on Saturday, Middlesbrough beating Man United to get to this stage and a full five days to prepare for their next fixture, Conte may decide to stick with the same line-up that started at Elland Road.
Spurs' next Premier League fixture is against Everton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and it means they will have a couple of extra days to prepare, which will help recovery time.
There could be an argument that the Italian should start with his strongest XI and then if his side can score a couple of goals in the first half to get a good lead, he can then make substitutions and allow some of the fringe players or youngsters a chance to impress.
Boro should still be seen as a threat and Spurs have struggled against teams they would expect to beat earlier in the season, when making a number of rotations, so making changes may not be the best tactic.
Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Royal, Hojbjerg, Winks, Reguilon; Kulusevski, Son; Kane
Despite a good amount of recovery time, Conte still may decide he wants to make a few changes to the side that beat Leeds and this could come in the form of the wing-backs.
Spurs are lacking depth in their squad after four first team departures in the January transfer window and a number of injuries, meaning the 52-year-old isn't left with huge choice for rotation.
However, there is still a battle in both wing-back positions for a place in the regular XI.
Sergio Reguilon has been out with Covid but returned to the matchday squad against Burnley, although didn't feature at Turf Moor or against Leeds.
The Spaniard was the first choice wing-back before he caught the virus and in order to help build his match fitness back up, Conte may give him a chance.
On the right, Emerson Royal and Matt Doherty have both produced some spells of solid play but have been inconsistent in their performances.
As Doherty started at Elland Road, the Brazilian may be given a chance to start and try and show that he does deserve a place in the regular XI.
Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Doherty, Hojbjerg, White, Sessegnon; Son; Bergwijn, Kane
Although Conte could make changes in these wing-back positions, Doherty and Ryan Sessegnon both produced a solid display against Leeds and are likely to feel as though they deserve to keep their place in the starting XI.
"He’s another player improving, working very hard and improved a lot," Conte said on the Irishman in his pre-match press conference. "He’s a serious guy. I like him, if he plays or doesn’t play, his commitment and his attitude is always at the top.
"I think he’s improving a lot and he understood that in this squad he can have an important part for this team."
Therefore it could be in the front line that Conte decides to make a change.
Dejan Kulusevski has already made five Premier League appearances, scoring two goals and registering an assist since his arrival in the capital from Juventus during the January transfer window.
The Swedish international has also played in a few different positions, showing he is a versatile player.
However, the 21-year-old could be a player Conte looks to give a rest to ensure he stays fit and instead bring in someone like Steven Bergwijn, who played just 12 minutes against Leeds.
Harvey White has been in Tottenham's Premier League squad six times this season but is still looking for his chance of some match minutes under the Italian.
If Conte does really want to make some rotation, the youngster could step in for Harry Winks, but he could be one to bring on towards the end of the game instead.
The Italian did include four academy players in the squad that travelled to Elland Road and a few of them could be featured at some point during the game, depending on how the match is going.
Conte gave his overall verdict on what he is expecting from the tie on Tuesday.
"I hope tomorrow [Tuesday] to see a good game, good football, at the same time with a great desire to go to the next round," he explained.
Whoever the Spurs boss picks to start against Middlesbrough, he will hope they can produce the same type of performance Tottenham did against Leeds and help the Lilywhites progress to the next round of the FA Cup.
