Tottenham team news: Spurs remain without the injured Serge Aurier, Mousa Dembele (both thigh), Christian Eriksen (abdomen), Dele Alli and Jan Vertonghen (both hamstring). However back up goalkeeper Mich Vorm is back in training and could take Paolo Gazzaniga's place in the squad.
Cardiff team news: Junior Hoillet has returned from injury, leaving Aaron Gunnarson as the only absentee.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: ''I think with full respect to Cardiff it will be a tough game too. In the Premier League there are no easy games. Everyone can think the motivation to play against Barcelona and it looks like we are going to play Saturday and it will be an easy game. For me it's the opposite. The most difficult game is the game that everyone believes outside of the team that you must win. For us it's so important to be motivated in the same level.''
Cardiff manager Neil Warnock: "When you looked at the (Barcelona v Spurs) game the other night... that's all you’ve got to do to beat Tottenham - have a Messi," "I hope Josh Murphy is ours - we’ll have to call him Jessi or something!"
