Tottenham have made just one change from the side that beat Swansea 3-2 in midweek and lost the Capital One Cup final last weekend as Ben Davies replaces Danny Rose at left-back for the Premier League trip to Queens Park Rangers.

Mauricio Pochettino has admitted in the build-up to the game that a fully-fit squad is forcing him to leave out a number of players in recent weeks which includes captain Yonues Kaboul, Emmanuel Adebayor and Etienne Capoue.

Andros Townsend, Ryan Mason and Nacer Chadli all retain their place after scoring against the Swans, meaning that Mousa Dembele, Erik Lamela and Benjamin Stambouli are all named on the bench.

QPR make two changes to the side that suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat to Arsenal on Wednesday as Rio Ferdinand and Mauricio Isla return to the side in place of Darnell Furlong and Junior Hoilett.

19-year-old Furlong misses out with a calf injury, while Hoilett drops to the bench where he’s joined by academy products Brandon Comley and Reece Grego-Coz.

Line-ups:

Tottenham: Lloris (c), Walker, Dier, Vertonghen, Davies; Bentaleb, Mason; Chadli, Eriksen, Townsend; Kane
