Predicted Tottenham XI to face Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League

Tottenham Hotspur welcome Sporting Lisbon to North London tomorrow evening for an important Group D Champions League clash. 

The Lilywhites will progress to the knockouts with a win over the Portuguese outfit, so we believe Conte will name a very strong XI at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Hugo Lloris starts between the sticks, with Ben Davies returning to the left side of the back three after sitting out in the defeat to Newcastle.

Eric Dier and Davinson Sanchez retain their spots in the XI, as does Ryan Sessegnon at left-wing-back. Matt Doherty replaces Emerson Royal on the right side at wing-back.

Rodrigo Bentancur lines up alongside Yves Bissouma in a midfield two, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg struggling with his fitness. Oliver Skipp is unlikely to start two games in three days after recently returning from injury.

Up front, Harry Kane and Heung-min Son make the XI as normal, but this time in a three with Lucas Moura who makes his first start of the season.
