Tottenham face Everton in the Premier League on Monday night hoping to bounce from the midweek defeat to Middlesbrough in the FA Cup, and Antonio Conte has a few decisions to make regarding his team selection.
Rodrigo Bentancur is back from injury but Oliver Skipp and Japhet Tanganga remain sidelined. We think Conte will make just one change from the Middlesbrough game, with Bentancur coming in for Harry Winks in central midfield.
That means Hugo Lloris will once again be protected by a back three of Cristian Romero, Eric Dier and Ben Davies, while Matt Doherty and Ryan Sessegnon will be the wing-backs.
It wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see Sergio Reguilon and Emerson Royal on the flanks instead, but it’s worth remembering Doherty and Sessegnon played well against Leeds last time out in the Premier League.
Bentancur will be partnered by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, and the front three should consist of Dejan Kulusevski, Son Heung-min and Harry Kane. Lucas Moura is also back and could provide a useful option from the bench.
Here’s our predicted XI to face Everton – what’s yours? Let us know in the comments section below.
