Ajax make one change to the XI named in north London last week. Noussair Mazraoui takes the place of Joel Veltman, who drops to the bench.

Spurs make two changes to last week’s starting XI. The previously suspended Son Heung-min is back, while Moussa Sissoko, who came on as a sub for the stricken Jan Vertonghen and did much to steady a listing ship, plays from the get-go this time. Fernando Llorente drops to the bench, while Davison Sanchez misses out altogether with a thigh problem. Erik Lamela returns from injury to take a sub spot, while the aforementioned Vertonghen has recovered from that harrowing concussion to play.
