Tottenham Hotspur can make it six wins from six when they tackle Anzhi Makhachkala in their final Europa League Group K game.
Both sides are playing for pride at White Hart Lane, with Tottenham securing top spot in the group and Anzhi assured as runners-up.
Andre Villas-Boas is expected to ring the changes as he looks to rest a number of top stars with this weekend's Premier League clash with Liverpool in mind.
Christian Eriksen and Danny Rose both return to the Tottenham squad after injury and they are expected to feature so that they can get some match action under their belts.
Defensive trio Vlad Chiriches (knee), Younes Kaboul (quad) and Jan Vertonghen (ankle) are all sidelined, while striker Emmanuel Adebayor has been left out of the squad.
Spurs could give Angola-born youngster Laste Dombaxe his debut, while fellow youngsters Ryan Fredericks and Shaquile Coulthirst have also been included in the squad.
Anzhi travel to London with a depleted squad, with only 20 players in their party.
Lacina Traore is missing through injury leaving Anzhi down to the bare bones in attack, with Serder Serderov their only fit forward.
The injury situation is so grave that Anzhi are considering naming youth team coach Ruslan Agalarov among their substitutes.
Mikhail Kerzhakov, Ali Gadzhibekov, Evegniy Pomazan, Karlen Mkrtchyan, Serder Serderov and Islamnur Abdulavov are all missing through injury and illness.
