Stoke City face a huge task to reach the semi-final of the League Cup this evening, with Jose Mourinho selecting a strong Tottenham XI for the game.

Even though a few changes have been made, with Son Heung-Min on the bench, the ex-Chelsea chief has picked a very experienced team.
Notably, Harry Kane is starting, with Gareth Bale also in from the off. Elsewhere, Hugo Lloris remains in goal, with Eric Dier in defence and Dele Alli will play as the attacking midfielder.
So, there are no youngsters in for Spurs, with the bench also packed with international players.
