Tottenham have returned to winning ways in the past week to improve the mood around the club.
Though as Ange Postecoglou aims to keep this good run of form going, the last thing he will want to deal with is more absences with as many as eight senior players - including Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Guglielmo Vicario - currently sidelined.
It’s also that time of year where suspension could become a factor as players who pick up five yellow cards in the first 19 Premier League matches of the season will receive a one-match ban.
Currently, Rodrigo Bentancur is one of two Spurs players in immediate danger of a ban as having picked up four yellow cards.
So far this season, Yves Bissouma is the only Spurs player to have served a suspension as a result of ill discipline but a number of his teammates are facing a ban during the hectic festive period.
