Tottenham Hotspur line up with Hugo Lloris in goal as they welcome Southampton to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tonight.

It’s a back three in front of Lloris as Davinson Sanchez, Cristian Romero and Ben Davies all start.

Emerson Royal and Sergio Reguilon are the wing backs, with Harry Winks and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg continuing in midfield.

Harry Kane leads the line with Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura flanking him up top.

That means new signings Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski are only on the bench tonight.

They’re joined by fellow substitutes Pierluigi Gollini, Matt Doherty, Ryan Sessegnon, Joe Rodon, Harvey White, Steven Bergwijn and Dane Scarlett.

Southampton go with Fraser Forster between the sticks whilst ex-Tottenham talent Kyle Walker-Peters starts at right back.

Walker-Peters is joined at the back by Jan Bednarek, Mohammed Salisu and Romain Perraud.

Oriol Romeu and James Ward-Prowse anchor the midfield, with Stuart Armstrong and Mohamed Elyounoussi out wide.

Armando Broja is passed fit to play, partnering Che Adams in the Southampton attack tonight.

Theo Walcott only makes the bench, joining Willy Caballero, Yan Valery, Jack Stephens, Ibrahima Diallo, Will Smallbone, Moussa Djenepo, Shane Long and Adam Armstrong.
