Spurs are currently on a streak of four games without a win after suffering defeat against champions Liverpool on Sunday and are looking to avoid a first third-round exit since 2006.
Jonathan Woodgate’s Middlesbrough have embarked on a recent resurgence and are unbeaten in their last six games, lifting them to 16th in the Championship.

Team news
Mourinho is likely to rotate his side, allowing Jan Vertonghen, Ryan Sessegnon, Eric Dier and Giovani Lo Celso starting opportunities. However, it’s still likely to be a strong eleven, with Mourinho knowing an exit would froth the negative undercurrent that followed the club’s defeat on the weekend.
Harry Kane, Hugo Lloris, Moussa Sissoko, Ben Davies and Tanguy Ndombele all remain injured.
Tomas Mejias could return in goal for Boro, while Manchester City loanee Patrick Roberts is in line for his third successive start since joining the club.
