Tottenham XI vs Chelsea: Reguilon debut - team news, starting lineup, latest injuries for Carabao Cup
Jose Mourinho claimed he "cannot fight" for the Carabao Cup given Tottenham's schedule and says he must prioritise Thursday's potentially lucrative Europa League play-off against Maccabi Haifa.
Even so, Dele Alli has not been included tonight against Chelsea, despite being left out of the squad for the third time in four matches for Sunday's frustrating 1-1 draw with Newcastle.
Mourinho's big decision was whether to start Harry Kane, and the striker is on the bench given Heung-min Son is missing with a hamstring problem.
Sergio Reguilon debuts at left-back and Japhet Tanganga gets his first appearance of the season after recovering from a thigh problem.
Tottenham XI: Lloris, Alderweireld, Dier, Tanganga, Aurier, Gedson, Ndombele, Sissoko, Reguilon, Bergwijn, Lamela
Subs: Hart, Doherty, Sanchez, Davies, Hojbjerg, Lucas, Kane
Chelsea XI: Mendy, Azpilicueta, Zouma, Tomori, Chilwell, Jorginho, Kovacic, Hudson-Odoi, Mount, Werner, Giroud
Subs: Kepa, James, Emerson, Kante, Barkley, Havertz, Abraham
