Victory over Chelsea would also return Tottenham to the top of the league, having dropped to second after Manchester City’s 6-1 thrashing of Bournemouth on Sunday.
Postecoglou will be sweating on the availability of regular left back Destiny Udogie who missed their victory over Crystal Palace and will have to pass a late fitness test to prove himself capable of playing.
Ben Davies, another option at left back or centre back, is also under an injury cloud as Postecoglou declared the Welsh defender “unlikely” to feature against Chelsea.
As for Chelsea, Pochettino revealed striker Armando Broja a chance to make the bench as he makes his way back from a knee injury.
Pochettino also expects winger Mykhailo Mudryk to be available having felt a small muscle strain last week.
