Tottenham open their Premier League campaign against Everton on Saturday, but how will they line up?
Mauricio Pochettino's side will be eager to bounce back from last year's end-of-season slump, and they have already made a couple of notable moves in the transfer market.
Ahead of their trip to Goodison Park, we take a look at Tottenham's options…
Club captain Hugo Lloris will continue in goal after another impressive campaign in north London. The Frenchman has been one of the Premier League's top 'keepers since his arrival from Lyon in 2012. Michel Vorm will start the season as second choice.
Tottenham conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League last season, but Pochettino might have to make a change to his favoured back four against Everton. Jan Vertonghen is not expected to be ready after an ankle injury, so Kevin Wimmer will be hoping to get the nod over Cameron Carter-Vickers to partner Toby Alderweireld on Saturday.
Kyle Walker and Danny Rose will expect to start having impressed so consistently last season, with Ben Davies and Kieran Trippier the second options at full-back.
Tottenham will be denied the services of Mousa Dembele as he serves the remaining four games of his suspension for poking Diego Costa in the eye last season. In his absence, new signing Victor Wanyama is likely to partner Eric Dier at the base of Tottenham's midfield, with Dele Alli continuing in a more advanced role.
Tottenham have bolstered their front line with the addition of Eredivisie top scorer Vincent Janssen, but he is likely to be bedded in slowly, with Harry Kane continuing to lead the line after scoring 25 Premier League goals last season.
Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen will hold onto their positions on the left and right flanks respectively, with Tottenham's move for Marseille winger Georges-Kevin N'Koudou in doubt.
