Paulo Gazzaniga will make his Tottenham debut as he comes in for injured captain Hugo Lloris.

The Spurs goalkeeper sustained a hip injury during the midweek win over Real Madrid, but was able to carry on at Wembley.

Number two goalkeeper Michel Vorm is believed to have failed a fitness test ahead of kick-off and is ruled out with a knee injury, so 19-year-old Alfie Whiteman has been named on the bench. Meanwhile, Dele Alli also misses out with a hamstring injury.

Elsewhere, Serge Aurier and Heung-min Son start with Toby Alderwerield sidelined with a hamstring injury which he also picked up in Wednesday’s Champions League win.

Crystal Palace meanwhile are boosted by the return of defender Mamadou Sakho, while Wilfried Zaha continues to lead the line in Christian Benteke's absence.

Here are the confirmed teams...

Tottenham XI: Gazzaniga; Aurier, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Rose; Dier, Winks; Sissoko, Eriksen, Son; Kane

Substitutes: Whiteman, Davies, Foyth, Trippier, Dembele, Nkoudou, Llorente
