Tottenham’s starting line-up for Saturday’s Premier League meeting with Manchester United has been confirmed.
The headline news is that there is no place for Sergio Reguilon nor Tanguy Ndombele in the XI. Instead, Nuno has given the nod to Ben Davies and Giovani Lo Celso.
The rest of the team is as expected. Hugo Lloris starts between the sticks and is protected by a back four of Davies, Cristian Romero, Eric Dier and Emerson Royal.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Oliver Skipp will sit behind Giovani Lo Celso, who will provide support for the front three of Lucas Moura, Son Heung-min and Harry Kane.
It seems strange that Reguilon and Ndombele are on the bench, particularly given that Davies and Lo Celso didn’t exactly impress at Burnley in midweek.
At the same time, Nuno is perhaps trying to refresh is Premier League starting XI by putting pressure on the players who expect to start every game.

Nuno definitely makes big mistake to select the worst left back in Premier league to play back four against Utd what a sad Nuno will regret
Davies for Reggy
Lo Celso for ndombele
Nuno clueless get him out
His Tactics are controll the ball and keep possession which just slows the game down as we all see against West Ham we need to get down the flanks ASAP and then feed Kane
Who at the moment be getting starved of the ball so keeps dropping into midfield

You cannot thinking Tanguy should start, the guy is a complete liability. A side with him in will never consistently perform, you can tell within minutes if he fancies it or not. Hides behind players rather than wanting the ball.
