Tottenham host Chelsea in the Carabao Cup fourth round on Tuesday, live on Sky Sports, with Brighton vs Man Utd and Liverpool vs Arsenal to come later in the week.
With rounds two and three, plus the upcoming fourth round, having been played in consecutive weeks, there will be a break in the competition after the latest round of matches. The Carabao Cup will resume in December with the quarter-final fixtures.
Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has hinted he will make wholesale changes for Tuesday's Carabao Cup fourth-round tie at home to Chelsea.
The clash with his former club is the first of three games in five days for Spurs and Mourinho has suggested the competition is not a priority. Spurs were given a bye to the fourth round after their previous match was postponed due to positive Covid-19 tests among their opponents, Leyton Orient.
Heung-Min Son (hamstring) and Gareth Bale (knee) are absent and it remains to be seen if Dele Alli is drafted in after missing out on the matchday squad in Sunday's draw with Newcastle, while Sergio Reguilon could make his debut after moving from Real Madrid.
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has confirmed goalkeeper Edouard Mendy is in contention to make his debut after signing from Rennes.
Full-back Ben Chilwell is also set to be in the squad as the 23-year-old manages his return from a heel problem. Christian Pulisic (hamstring) and Hakim Ziyech (knee) continue their rehabilitation.
