TEAMS: Midfield duo return to Tottenham bench as Harry Kane gets nod against Stoke
ANDROS TOWNSEND and Moussa Dembele return for Tottenham against Stoke but the midfield duo are only handed bench appearances.
Harry Kane starts for Tottenham

Subs: Sorensen, Bardsley, Ireland, Odemwingie, Sidwell, Crouch, Willscheid.
