Tottenham Hotspur are expected to ring the changes against Colchester in the Carabao Cup this week.

It is a game several fringe players in the Tottenham squad have been waiting for, and there could be a couple of debuts too.

It is possible in form under-23 striker Troy Parrott finally gets his chance to shine, while new signing Ryan Sessegnon has to come into contention for his first start too.

Colchester are in 10th place in League Two and even with a heavily rotated team, Spurs should be confident of winning.

Here is a look at how Tottenham could line up for the fixture…

Oliver Skipp, Eric Dier, Victor Wanyama and Juan Foyth would all also be making their first starts of the season.

With Wanyama and Skipp both needing game time too, Dier may have to feature at centre-back in order to fit all three in.

This game is a good chance too for Dele Alli to take some responsibility and get back into goalscoring form.

Kyle Walker-Peters and Lucas Moura both need game time too, with the Brazilian needing a chance to show he should be a weekly starter, while the young English right-back will want to respond to Serge Aurier’s recent impressive performances.
