Antonio Conte will again be without forwards Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison for Tottenham’s visit to Bournemouth today, while Eric Dier has been rested.

Lucas Moura is not fit enough to start back-to-back matches after returning to the XI for the first time since May in Wednesday’s draw with Sporting Lisbon, so Conte switches back to 3-5-2.

Conte revealed he took a “big risk” in starting Cristian Romero against Sporting after the Argentine missed the defeat to Newcastle last weekend with muscle fatigue, so it’s a centre-back triple of Ben Davies, Clement Lenglet and Davinson Sanchez.
