Tottenham
As will be the case with numerous Premier League teams, Tottenham will need to carefully assess their international contingent, in particular Son, Romero and Richarlison, the latter of whom recently revealed that he plans to seek psychological help following a challenging time off the field.
Son and Romero both shook off injury scares during the international break, and the pair's importance to Postecoglou's formation cannot be overstated, but the latter will arrive back at Hotspur Way following a taxing journey home from South America.
Rodrigo Bentancur (knee), Bryan Gil (groin), Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring) and Alfie Whiteman (ankle) are all recovering from operations, while Giovani Lo Celso missed Argentina's fixtures this month with a thigh strain and is absent for the weekend too.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Maddison, Solomon; Son
Sheffield
While Sheffield United's international contingent did not travel so far and wide, the Blades have no fewer than eight injury concerns to contend with for the weekend after losing Yasser Larouci to a back injury midway through the second half against Everton.
The 22-year-old - who has recently pledged allegiance to Algeria - could still make the trip to North London, but Leicester City loanee Luke Thomas may now come into the XI, especially with Ben Osborn also sidelined with a severe groin injury.
Rhian Brewster (thigh), Daniel Jebbison (illness), Max Lowe (ankle), Rhys Norrington-Davies (thigh) and John Fleck (calf) are all expected to sit this one out too, while there are question marks over Will Osula (unspecified), George Baldock (calf) and Anel Ahmedhodzic (hamstring), but the former has trained alongside John Egan.
Sheffield United possible starting lineup:
Foderingham; Basham, Egan, Robinson; Bogle, Hamer, Souza, Norwood, Thomas; Archer, McBurnie
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 Sheffield United
