Southgate looks set to return after missing the victory over Birmingham at the weekend. The Boro captain was withdrawn late in the game at Everton with a back injury and failed a late test before the Birmingham game.
But he has returned to training today and will be looking for a return to the starting line-up at White Hart Lane. A Boro spokesman said "Gareth is back in full-time training and we're hopeful that he'll be fit for the weekend.
New signing Tony Vidmar could be the unlucky player to miss out after a solid debut against Birmingham but Steve McClaren could leave the versatile Aussie in at the expense of Robbie Stockdale or Colin Cooper.
