It leaves a tantalising question: will Jose Mourinho be tempted to unleash a front four of Bale, Kane, Son and Alli in Sunday s north London derby against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium?
He did just that for an all-capital clash with Fulham earlier this month, with the quartet in tandem for 67 minutes of a 1-0 win before Bale and Alli made way for Moussa Sissoko and Lucas Moura.
That accounts for more than half of the 114 minutes they have spent together on the field in total since Bale arrived back at Spurs on loan from Real Madrid.
The Wales star s struggles for match fitness and a prolonged period in the cold for Alli do much to explain such fleeting glances at the foursome but, with local pride and Champions League qualification on the line, it might be time for Mourinho to roll the dice.
