Heung-Min Son is expected to miss out after sustaining a foot injury during the weekend's win.
The pursestrings have been tightened at the club after the lavish summer of 2013, but Leonardo Jardim's side still harbour hopes of qualifying for the Champions League for a third successive campaign.
All four fetched sizeable fees and the club swiftly sought replacements. Stephan El Shaarawy, for instance, arrived from Milan, while Fabio Coentrao joined on loan from Real Madrid.
The club experienced a mass exodus this summer -- with star figures in the ilk of Yannick Fereira-Carrasco, Anthony Martial, Aymen Abdennour and Geoffrey Kondogbia having departed for greener pastures.
Monaco vice president, Vadim Vasilyev has conceded earlier this week that it will be difficult for the principality side to rival PSG at the summit of the Ligue 1 table.
Tottenham, though, were merciless in their demolition of Qarabag at White Hart Line, thanks to goals from Heung-Min Song and Erik Lamela.
The defensive parsimony that defined last season's fairytale run to the Champions League quarter-finals seems to have dissipated. Jardim's also required a late leveller from Lacina Traore to salvage a point against Anderlecht on matchday one of the Europa League.
There were contrasting emotions in the south of France, however, as Monaco succumbed to a 3-3 draw with Guingamp. Thanks to goals from Bernardo Silva, Andrea Raggi and Nabil Dirar, Leonardo Jardim's side were in command, but their opponents dug their heels in and equalised late courtesy of Nicola Benezet -- though questions must be asked of Daniel Subasic's positioning.
More importantly for Spurs, however, was the end of Harry Kane's barren spell infront of goal. The forward, who was named in Roy Hodgson's England squad earlier today, netted his side's third. Erik Lamela's performance, and late goal to round it off, was yet another positive.
Spurs will travel to the principality bouyed by their weekend triumph over Manchester City. Mauricio Pochettino's outfit ran out 4-1 victors, with Harry Kane, Erik Lamela, Toby Alderweireld and Eric Dier sharing the goals.
