Tottenham have opted to keep Richarlison on the bench against Manchester City tonight.
The Brazilian, who made a cameo in the north London derby defeat by Arsenal last weekend, was in contention to start ahead of the out-of-form Heung-min Son but the latter is usually effective against City, with manager Antonio Conte already predicting his side will enjoy no more than "20 or 25 per cent possession".
As a result Son keeps his place alongside Harry Kane and Dejan Kulusevski.
