Tottenham goakeeper Hugo Lloris might be a bit rusty having only just returned from a wrist injury - and it showed here. A sloppy pass is intercepted by Stoke striker Mame Diouf and he drills a low shot at goal, but Lloris saves his own blushes to save. 

Christian Eriksen involved again. This time from a free-kick on the edge of the box which he lifts over the Stoke wall - but once again Jack Butland is equal to it in the Stoke goal and he parries it to safety. Spurs looking dangerous.

Lovely play from Christian Eriksen as he brings a smart save out of Jack Butland with a low-angled shot which the Stoke goalkeeper pushes just past the post.

Moments earlier Ibrahim Afellay gave a glimpse of his early ambition as he shot from distance blocked. 

A relatively subdued start from both teams, Stoke seem content to sit back, soak up pressure and hit Tottenham on the break so far. Spurs seeing plenty of the ball.

"Both sides were beaten by freaky goals last weekend. Kyle Walker unfortunately prodded into his own net at Old Trafford, while Philippe Coutinho's winner at the Britannia Stadium was just freakishly good.

"Otherwise they could have earned a point each. Stoke have started this campaign without last season's spine. Asmir Begovic is now at Chelsea, Ryan Shawcross is injured and Steven Nzonzi has joined Sevilla. 

"In response, Mark Hughes has been ambitious in the market. Xherdan Shaqiri is the latest exotic arrival, but they may take time to gel. Tottenham's new recruits have been defenders - not surprising for a side with only one Premier League home clean sheet in 2015."

"I think Stoke will do well this season but I've just got a funny feeling that Harry Kane won't have the season he just had and that Spurs might falter. 1-1."

Speaking shortly before kick-off Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino said: "The team we choose today is a good team. It's a tactical change to bring in Ryan Mason. 

"Today is a good chance at White Hart Lane to get our first win and we need to play in our way and show confidence. There's no pressure with what happened last season against Stoke, this is a different season and a different game."

How is this game going to pan out? Happy with the teams selected by Mark Hughes and Mauricio Pochettino? Do you agree with Mark Lawrenson's claims that Harry Kane won't have the season he's just had?

In case you missed it, one player who won't be involved for Stoke at White Hart Lane today is Xherdan Shaqiri, who joined the Potters from Inter Milan.

Stoke have received the Swiss midfield playmaker's international clearance, but it has emerged he must serve a one-game ban suspension which applied to the Coppa Italia competition last season.

A statement from Stoke said: "In accordance with Fifa Regulations, The FA have no alternative but to implement the suspension of another association, but the club have expressed its disappointment that the suspension has been applied to a Premier League fixture this season rather than to a comparative cup competition fixture."

Stoke boss Mark Hughes makes one change from the side which were beaten 1-0 by Liverpool at the Britannia Stadium. 

Marko Arnautovic is preferred to Charlie Adam, who is named among the substitutes. New boy Xherdan Shaqiri is missing as he serves a one-match ban carried over from previous club Inter Milan. 

Stoke XI: Butland; Johnson, Cameron, Muniesa, Pieters; Whelan, van Ginkel; Walters, Afellay, Arnautovic; Diouf

Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino makes two changes from the side which lost 1-0 to Manchester United last weekend. 

France goalkeeeper Hugo Lloris, who fractured his wrist in pre-season, is fit enough to start and replaces Michel Vorm while Ryan Mason is preferred in midfield to Nabil Bentaleb who is dropped to the bench. 

Tottenham XI: Lloris; Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies; Dier, Mason; Chadli, Dembele, Eriksen; Kane
