Middlesbrough vs Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League: Riverside Stadium
Referee: Graham Scott
Danny Rose, who has been out of action since Tottenham’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool on August 27, will also be assessed in training to determine his availability.
Talk amongst Spurs fans is dominated by the loss of Harry Kane for the foreseeable future, but we now have a capeable replacement in Janssen.
The Dutchman will get a run of games now, and after needing eight to score his first Eredivisie goal for AZ last season, he then averaged one every match.
After making eleven changes in the midweek win over Gillingham, Poch will revert to a similar team to the side that beat Sunderland last weekend at White Hart Lane.

The Stat Attack
- Spurs have lost just once in the nine most recent competitive meetings, a 2-1 Premier League away defeat in August 2008 (W4, D3, L1).
- Spurs have gone unbeaten in their opening five league games of a season for the first time in 12 years. The 2004-05 season was the only time they have remained unbeaten after six matches in the Premier League.
- A win on Saturday would represent the club's best start to a top-flight season for 51 years, matching their four wins and two draws after six matches in 1965-66.
Teams News - Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough pair Cristhian Stuani and Jordan Rhodes are available to face Tottenham after overcoming respective groin and knee injuries.
Fabio da Silva and Grant Leadbitter remain sidelined.
Teams News - Tottenham
Harry Kane's ankle injury will bring an end to his run of 71 consecutive league starts for Tottenham.
Danny Rose has a hamstring strain and may not be risked, while Mousa Dembele and Eric Dier suffered similar injuries last week and will also be assessed.
Our prediction: Middlesbrough 0-1 Tottenham
