Spurs ahead of kick off !

Etienne Capoue returns to the Tottenham Hotspur line-up in the Europa League today after returning from injury.
The French midfielder, who joined the club in the summer, sprained his ankle in the defeat to Arsenal at the beginning of September and returns to the team for the visit of FC Sheriff in the Europa League on Thursday night.
Under-fire club record signing Erik Lamela is also included as is striker Jermain Defoe. Goalkeeper Brad Friedel is also in the starting line-up as number one stopper Hugo Lloris recovers from the much publicised head injury he picked up in last Sunday’s draw at Everton.
On Jan Vertonghen and Kyle Walker are survivors from that game as boss Andre Villas-Boas looks to rotate his squad ahead of the Premier League game against Newcastle at the weekend.


Spurs starting XI: Friedel, Naughton, Walker, Kaboul, Vertonghen, Dembele, Capoue, Eriksson, Lamela, Sigurdsson, Defoe
