The hosts are yet to win a game in the Premier League in 2022 - in the last matches, they drew with Liverpool (2:2) and Brighton (1:1), and suffered a defeat to the current leaders and defending champions, Manchester City (0:1).

Christensen, James, Mendy, Chalobah, and Chillwell have been ruled out of this fixture. 

Tottenham got a landslide victory over Morecambe (3:1) in their first FA Cup match, but suffered a defeat to Chelsea in the semi-final of the League Cup and failed to qualify from their group in the Conference League. Thus, FA CUp is the only trophy they can still win this season.
