Antonio Conte has opted for a 3-5-2 formation for Tottenham for tonight’s clash against Manchester United.
Richarlison misses the game due to a calf injury sustained in the weekend’s victory over Everton, while Dejan Kulusevski is out with the hamstring injury that has kept him sidelined since the international break.
“Kulusevski is working and we will see,” Conte said in his pre-match press conference. “We have to go day-by-day with him and the medical department are working a lot to try to recover him but we don’t know about the game against United.

“I think the medical department are working to recover him but at the same time, sometimes there are situations that you have to go a bit slowly and not to accelerate the process because sometimes if you accelerate the process you risk making the situation worse. For this reason we need to have patience.”
Summer signing Yves Bissouma comes in to bolster the midfield and Harry Kane and Heung-min Son start up front as a pair.
Matt Doherty and Ivan Perisic get the nod as wing-backs, while Ben Davies is in the back three alongside Eric Dier and Cristian Romero.
Tottenham XI: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Davies, Doherty, Bentancur, Bissouma, Hojbjerg, Perisic, Son, Kane
Subs: Skipp, Sanchez, Gil, Sessegnon, Forster, Spence, Tanganga, Moura, Lenglet
