Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has made five changes to his starting lineup for this evening's Europa League meeting against Partizan.

The big news is that the seemingly out-of-favour Paulinho returns in midfield, while top scorer Harry Kane is among the substitutes at White Hart Lane.

Aaron Lennon makes his 400th career appearance, meanwhile, with Benjamin Stambouli also among the starters in a holding midfield role as Spurs go in search of the three points which will secure their place in the knockout stages.

For this evening's visitors, who have failed to win in this competition in their last 10 games, Danko Lazovic, Petar Skuletic and Petar Grbic lead a 4-3-3 setup.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Naughton, Chiriches, Vertonghen, Davies, Dembele, Stambouli, Lennon, Paulinho, Lamela, Soldado
Subs: Vorm, Ball, Dier, Bentaleb, Eriksen, Winks, Kane

Partizan Belgrade XI: Lukac, Ilic, Cirkovic, Stankovic, Volkov, Ninkovic, Markovic, Ilic, Lazovic, Skuletic, Grbic
