It's been a good start to the season for Tottenham to see them sit third in the division and unbeaten after three wins and two draws.

Mauricio Pochettino's men have been quick to carry on from last year and are starting to find their groove with wins over Sunderland, Crystal Palace and Stoke whilst they've also drawn at Everton and at home to Liverpool.

They've seen the return of Mousa Dembele too now and we all know how influential he is in Spurs' fortunes so things could be about to step up a notch for the club as they head to Middlesbrough this weekend.

It'll be another big test as Boro have started well in their first Premier League season since 2008/09 and Aitor Karanka's men look confident of giving anyone a game.

Meanwhile, Harry Kane is out for Spurs and that will be an obvious miss but here at Football FanCast we think this line-up should still be enough to get the three points...

Hugo Lloris

The second best 'keeper in the league, the Frenchman will start.

Kyle Walker

Spurs' best right-back by a long way, has to play.

Toby Alderweireld

He's started this season how he did last year and will be key to Spurs' season.

Jan Vertonghen

Just as important as Alderweireld, he has to keep Alvaro Negredo quiet this weekend.

Ben Davies

Danny Rose is still out so Ben Davies will once again deputise.

Dembele's foil - a key part to how Spurs play.

Christian Eriksen

He found the net against Stoke a couple of weeks ago and needs to keep scoring now Kane is out.

Erik Lamela

Like the rest of their midfielders Spurs need Lamela to step up quickly and help fill the goals void Harry Kane has left.

Vincent Janssen

The Dutchman has to take this opportunity with Harry Kane out, but actually doing so is harder than just saying it.
