Ndombele starts, plus exciting front four: Confirmed Spurs line-up vs Rennes

Nuno Espirito Santo has confirmed his starting XI for Tottenham’s Europa League Conference group stage meeting with Rennes tonight.

With the visit of Chelsea on Sunday in mind and a number of absentees, the Spurs boss has made several changes for the game in France, but has still named a strong team.

Pierluigi Gollini makes his usual appearance in Europe, whilst Ben Davies and Matt Doherty coming into the side as the full-backs, with Japhet Tanganga the only defensive survivor from the Palace loss, with Joe Rodon making his first start of the season.

There’s also a first outing of the season for Tanguy Ndombele, who partners Oliver Skipp in midfield.

Moving forward, there’s a familiar look to the front four as Steven Bergwijn, Lucas Moura and Harry Kane are joined by Bryan Gil.

There’s several youngsters on the bench, plus the likes of Emerson Royal, Sergio Regulion, Harry Winks and Dele Alli.
