Tottenham confirmed team vs Everton: Rodrigo Bentancur comes in as Harry Winks drops to bench

Antonio Conte has made one change to his Tottenham Hotspur side to face Everton in the Monday night Premier League match.

The Italian will be hoping that Tottenham's win-loss-win-loss record continues for at least one more game as Frank Lampard's Toffees come to town.

Picking the same Spurs starting XI has not worked for Conte in recent weeks as when he went with unchanged teams to face Burnley and Middlesbrough, the players put in insipid displays with the latter performance seeing them dumped out of the FA Cup to the Championship side.

Conte has brought Rodrigo Bentancur straight back into his starting line-up after the Uruguayan recovered from his ankle injury, with Harry Winks dropping out of the midfield duo that struggled at the Riverside Stadium.

Oliver Skipp and Japhet Tanganga remain out injured but Lucas Moura is back and on the bench.

Conte appeared to hint to football.london on Friday that he would stick with Ryan Sessegnon at left wing-back and that Sergio Reguilon will have to win his place back after suffering a few after-effects from his bout of Covid. That is the case with the Spaniard remaining on the bench.

Matt Doherty also keeps his spot with Emerson Royal remaining on the bench after his disappointing cameo from the bench in the FA Cup tie.

Here is the Tottenham team Conte has selected to face the Toffees.

Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Doherty, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Kane, Son.

Subs: Gollini, Sanchez, Rodon, Emerson, Reguilon, White, Winks, Bergwijn, Lucas.
