Jose Mourinho has told Tottenham Hotspur’s official website that he is going to make three games for his side’s clash with Crystal Palace.

Tottenham are set to take on Palace on Sunday, as they look to make it three wins from three.

However, Mourinho realises that Spurs have battled through a hectic schedule.

And he has already suggested that he will freshen things up at the weekend to ensure that fatigue doesn’t set in.

“We changed three players, I’d like to change 11 because al of them deserve to play,” he said.

“I changed three and I believe that in these game, the way this squad is working, the next game I’m going to change another three because we need that as a team.”

Although Mourinho did not name the players who would be changed, it seems that Gareth Bale could be at risk of missing out on starting.

Mourinho has already stated that the Welshman cannot play in every one of Tottenham’s upcoming game, so he may have to play a role as an impact sub on Sunday.

Matt Doherty and Ben Davies could also miss out, if Mourinho opts to switch his full-backs again, while Toby Alderweireld’s place could also be under threat, despite back-to-back clean sheets.
