Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is counting on a New Year injury boost.
Spurs have been hit hard by injury in recent weeks.
But Football.London says there's a confidence of midfielder James Maddison and defender Micky van de Ven being available in the first week of January.
Winger Manor Solomon is also due to be back later in January.
However at the same time, Spurs will lose Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr to the Africa Cup of Nations along with captain Heung-min Son to the Asian Cup.
