On the back of a stellar start to life under Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham Hotspur's first Premier League game after the international hiatus sees Sheffield United visit North London on Saturday afternoon.
Only Manchester City have performed better than the Lilywhites so far this term, with Postecoglou's side winning three and drawing one of their opening four matches to sit second in the fledgling rankings.
Spurs began the month of September in scintillating form too, thumping newly-promoted Burnley 5-2 to continue their sequence of scoring at least twice in every game under Postecoglou.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with the Blades, who remain winless in the Premier League this season courtesy of a 2-2 draw with Everton last time out.

Giovani Lo Celso - who decided against a move away from Tottenham during the summer window - picked up a quadriceps injury against Fulham in the EFL Cup on August 29 and has not been available for club or country since. While a comeback this weekend is thought to be beyond the realm of possibility, he could return for the North London derby with Arsenal on September 24.

As is the case with Bentancur, Sessegnon and Gil, backup goalkeeper Alfie Whiteman is also on the long road to recovery from surgery - having gone under the knife to address an ankle concern - and Spurs have not put a timeframe on his rehabilitation.
