Tottenham vs Middlesbrough confirmed line-ups: Team news ahead of FA Cup third-round replay

Japhet Tanganga may start again after his surprise inclusion against Liverpool

Tottenham Hotspur welcome Middlesbrough to north London on Tuesday night as Jose Mourinho’s side look to avoid an upset in their third-round replay.

Lucas Moura saved Spurs’ blushes in the pair’s initial meeting, with the Brazilian’s late equaliser cancelling out Ashley Fletcher’s opener.

Mourinho’s side are now without a win in their last four matches after defeat against Liverpool last weekend.

However, Jonathan Woodgate’s Boro have been on a remarkable resurgence as of late, undefeated in their last six matches and rising to 16th in the Championship.

Here is everything you need to know:

When is it?

The fixture kicks off at 8.05pm at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

How can I watch it?

The match will be broadcast live on BBC One and the BBC iPlayer.

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.
