Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Harry Kane is among 10 changes made by Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino for tonight's League Cup fixture against Brighton at White Hart Lane.
The only Spurs player to retain his place from the team which lost 2-1 to Newcastle on Sunday was Belgian defender Jan Vertonghen.
England winger Aaron Lennon will lead the team out as captain.
The last time he started for Spurs, the striker Kane scored a hat-trick in the 5-1 Europa League win over Asteras on 26 October.
Spurs have, however, scored in each of their last 24 home matches in the League Cup, and tonight face a Brighton team who have failed to win in their last six games in all competitions, since a 3-0 win at Burton Albion in the League Cup in September.
Tottenham: Vorm, Naughton, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies; Dembele, Stambouli; Lennon, Kane, Townsend; Soldado.
Brighton: Walton; Calderon, Dunk, Hughes, Chicksen; Ince, Holla, Forster-Caskey, LuaLua, McCourt, Colunga
