Tottenham confirmed team vs Wolves: Rodrigo Bentancur, Ryan Sessegnon and Matt Doherty start

Antonio Conte has shaken up his Tottenham Hotspur team with three changes for the visit of Wolves on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League.

Conte stuck with the same starting XI after the FA Cup win against Brighton but those Tottenham players struggled for much of the match against Southampton.

The Italian needed to make changes for another tough test in the shape of Wolves and one of his new signings comes into the team among three changes to the side.

Rodrigo Bentancur was a rare bright spot in Wednesday's defeat after a similarly positive cameo at the weekend. He replaces Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the midfield and plays alongside Harry Winks.

It is the first time Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg hasn't been selected in a Premier League game when available for Spurs.

The other changes come at wing-back where Matt Doherty and Ryan Sessegnon come in for Emerson Royal and Sergio Reguilon.

Spurs' other new arrival from Juventus, Dejan Kulusevski, remains on the bench after making his Premier League debut against the Saints.

Elsewhere, Conte is without the injured Eric Dier, Oliver Skipp and Japhet Tanganga.

That means he continues with a back three of Davinson Sanchez, Cristian Romero and Ben Davies, which looked shaky against Southampton.

Here is the team Conte has selected to welcome Wolves:

Lloris; Sanchez, Romero, Davies; Doherty, Winks, Bentancur, Sessegnon; Lucas, Kane, Son.

Subs: Gollini, Rodon, Reguilon, Emerson, Hojbjerg, White, Kulusevski, Bergwijn, Scarlett.
