“Destiny had a problem and it was nothing serious but we had to leave him out for tonight,” Tottenham manager Postecoglou said.

“Destiny we are still going to assess. Obviously it is a short turnaround from the other night.

“We’ll have a look today, see how things go and make a decision after that. Everyone else has come through fine and is available.”

Spurs have made their best start to a top-flight campaign winning eight of their first 10 games and only drawing two going into the game against Chelsea.
