While the lion's share of Premier League clubs will lock horns this weekend, Tottenham Hotspur are not in action, with their opponents, Chelsea, competing in the Carabao Cup against Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.
With recent weeks marred by inconsistency, Spurs will perhaps take the opportunity to recalibrate ahead of next weekend's home fixture against Crystal Palace.
Ange Postecoglou's fifth-placed side have improved since last season's troubles but there is much work still to be done, and while further high-profile acquisitions are expected across the windows to come, the talented youth crop must not be forgotten.

This rising talent could be the perfect future partner for Lucas Bergvall.
Indeed, the 22-year-old has bagged three goals and four assists from 21 fixtures under Postecoglou thus far, though if Irow continues on the same track then there's every chance he will be the more effective goalscorer.
Therefore, the 17-year-old could be the perfect homegrown solution to Son's – aged 31 – inevitable departure at some point.
