Tottenham Hotspur are back in Europe league action tonight as they host Royal Antwerp in their final group stage game.

Jose Mourinho has rotated his side today, with Joe Hart coming in for Hugo Lloris between the sticks.

Mourinho appears to have changed formation to go for a back five, with Matt Doherty and Sergio Reguilon as the wing backs.

Davinson Sanchez will start as the most central defender, with Japhet Tanganga and Ben Davies flanking him.

Harry Winks come in for a start alongside Giovani Lo Celso in midfield, as Dele Alli has to make do with a place on the bench.

Gareth Bale and Lucas Moura start out wide, supporting Carlos Vinicius in the Tottenham attack as Mourinho’s key players are rested.

Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, Tanguy Ndombele, Eric Dier, Toby Alderweireld and Moussa Sissoko all fit into that category, and are only on the bench tonight.

They’re joined by Alfie Whiteman, Harvey White, Jack Clarke, Steven Bergwijn and Dane Scarlett.
