Bissouma has not played since picking up a knock during the international break but Postecoglou confirmed that he took part in training this week. His return to the side would allow Spurs to switch from a three-man midfield back to the manager's favoured 4-2-3-1 formation.

Richarlison, Yves Bissouma and Will Lankshear are the only enforced absentees, Coventry are expected to be without Ben Sheaf, while the trio of Joel Latibeaudiere, Josh Eccles and Tatsuhiro Sakamoto are doubts but pushing to be involved.
