Tottenham Hotspur will be aiming to begin 2021 on a high note when they play host to Leeds United in the Premier League on Saturday lunchtime.
Jose Mourinho's men were scheduled to face Fulham in a London derby on Wednesday evening, but a coronavirus outbreak in the Cottagers' camp meant that the game had to be postponed.
Spurs have dropped out of the top four after an underwhelming spell of form and currently sit seventh in the Premier League table, but the Lilywhites are only three points off third-placed Leicester City with a game in hand.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's visit of Leeds.
