Jose Mourinho has a big selection call to make on Thursday evening when Tottenham Hotspur host Dinamo Zagreb in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie.

Spurs are on a four-game winning run and are taking this competition seriously, but the meeting with Dinamo comes three days before a trip to rivals Arsenal in the Premier League.

Mourinho must therefore find the right balance to his starting lineup in midweek, though it is expected that the likes of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Gareth Bale will make way.

Carlos Vinicius seems certain to start up top as he looks to build on a return of six goals and three assists in seven Europa League appearances this season.

Changes can also be expected at the back, with Eric Dier, Ben Davies and Japhet Tanganga in contention to return after sitting out the 4-1 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Full-back Serge Aurier is carrying a knock and should be given the night off, while central defender Joe Rodon is ineligible.

Tottenham possible starting lineup: Lloris; Tanganga, Alderweireld, Dier, Davies; Hojbjerg, Ndombele; Lamela, Alli, Bergwijn; Vinicius
