Team News: Andros Townsend drops to Tottenham Hotspur bench for second leg

First-leg goalscorer Andros Townsend is on the bench as a strong Spurs side travel to Sheffield United for the second leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final.

Andros Townsend has been benched for the second leg of Tottenham Hotspur's Capital One Cup semi-final against Sheffield United this evening.

The England winger scored the only goal of last week's fixture, from the penalty spot, to give Spurs a 1-0 advantage ahead of their trip to Bramall Lane.

Erik Lamela replaces him in a strong Tottenham Hotspur lineup that has number two Michel Vorm in goal instead of Hugo Lloris, and Jan Vertonghen as captain in the absence of the rested Frenchman.

Harry Kane leads the Spurs line, with Emmanuel Adebayor and Roberto Soldado, who took their turns starting against the Blades and in the FA Cup defeat to Leicester City, both among the substitutes.

Ben Davies and Eric Dier start in the visiting defence, while Mousa Dembele is brought in to stiffen up the midfield. Belgian winger Nacer Chadli is not in the squad after returning from compassionate leave.

Nigel Clough's League One hosts make just one change from the side who lost narrowly at White Hart Lane, with former Everton youngster Jose Baxter replacing Louis Reed in the middle of the park.

Sheff United: Howard; Flynn, Basham, McEveley, Harris; Doyle, Baxter; Campbell-Ryce, Scougall, Murphy; McNulty
Subs: Turner, Alcock, Higdon, Reed, Adams, Walllace, Kennedy

Spurs: Vorm, Walker, Dier, Vertonghen, Davies; Mason, Stambouli; Lamela, Dembele, Eriksen; Kane
Subs: Friedel, Fazio, Rose, Paulinho, Townsend, Adebayor, Soldado
