Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham Hotspur's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie with Portsmouth.

Tottenham Hotspur will endeavour to book their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup when they tackle League One side Portsmouth in North London on Saturday lunchtime.

The Lilywhites enter the contest on the back of a convincing 4-0 Premier League win over Crystal Palace, with Harry Kane bagging a brace while Son Heung-min and Matt Doherty also got in on the act.

Tottenham have eight FA Cups on display in their cabinet, but their last success came all the way back in 1991, and they were dumped out by Middlesbrough in the fifth round last year.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the showdown with Portsmouth, who enter the contest having just sacked manager Danny Cowley.
