Sunderland goalkeeper Craig Gordon should be fit despite withdrawing from the Scotland squad with a knee problem.
The Black Cats will assess midfielder Jordan Henderson, who missed England Under-21 duty because of injury.
With Chelsea not in action until Monday, victory on Wearside will take Tottenham into a top-four spot and provide a timely boost ahead of their Champions League trip to AC Milan.
Since that victory, in September 2001, Spurs have visited the Stadium of Light five times, losing three and drawing two.
Sunderland test Lee Cattermole (back) but Danny Welbeck, Fraizer Campbell and Michael Turner are all missing with knee problems.
Spurs, who face AC Milan in the Champions League next week, will test Rafael van der Vaart, who failed to emerge for the second half for the win over Bolton with a hamstring problem.
Spurs themselves are unbeaten in four games, but will travel north without injured midfielders Rafael van der Vaart (calf), Luka Modric (appendix) and Gareth Bale (back), while striker Peter Crouch is also in doubt.
