The starting line-up for Tottenham’s final pre-season friendly against Watford has been confirmed.
Spurs travel to Vicarage Road hoping to finish pre-season strongly following home wins against Ipswich Town, Reading and Birmingham City.
Despite their relegation, Watford will prove a difficult test for a Tottenham squad slightly depleted by the international break.
Still, Jose Mourinho has been able to name a strong line-up. And the headline news is Tanguy Ndombele’s inclusion in the XI.
The 23-year-old makes his first appearance of pre-season. He is joined in midfield by Harvey White, with Dele Alli playing in front of them. Erik Lamela will provide support for Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura up front.
In defence, a back four of Serge Aurier, Davinson Sanchez, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Dennis Cirkin will look to ensure goalkeeper Joe Hart has a quiet afternoon.
The likes of Paulo Gazzaniga, Juan Foyth and Jack Clarke are on the bench alongside a number of youngsters hoping for minutes.
Check out the full line-up below and let us know your thoughts on the XI in the comments section at the bottom of the article.

This is not a line-up that will give Dele the chance to show exactly how good he is in creation and delivery.
Is lo Celso injured?I’m sure he wasn’t away on international duty. His creativity will be a big miss if he’s out injured
Guarantee to conceded its just a guesting of how many the front 3 can not create a goal between them that leaves it all1 to ali no one else capable of getting him the ball same old story we need defenders who can defend midfield who can win the ball and then create something and front players who want to play for the team and not for them selves
Foyth should be given another chance at place of Aurier who expects to be sold
Honestly
Sick to see Dele playing again. Rather new player takes his place and Lamela who is unreliable
