Antonio Conte is in desperate need of freshening up his Tottenham starting XI THFC
, the Italian desperately needs to mix it up when it comes to selecting his starting XI as he attempts to get a tune out of his side again.
So how could Spurs look against Man City at the Etihad? Here’s what talkSPORT.com thinks Conte could do…Starting from the back, Fraser Forster comes in in goal for captain Hugo Lloris, who came under fire after putting Bukayo Saka’s effort into his own net at his near post for Arsenal’s first goal. Lloris won’t have fond memories of facing Man City, either, after his mistake for Ilkay Gundogan’s goal last season, so there’s no harm in giving Forster – who’s made three appearances this season – a go.Another major change which could help put Spurs on the front foot is ditching their struggling back-five and go with a four.The only players to keep their places from the north London derby in Spurs’ back line are two out of the three centre-backs, Eric Dier and Cristian Romero.
Wing-backs Ryan Sessegnon and Matt Doherty were both replaced in the game after struggling to contain Gabriel Martinelli and Saka, so swapping to a back four to bring Ivan Perisic and Emerson Royal will help sure up Spurs’ defence against Man City’s threat up front.Meanwhile in midfield, Conte is likely to stick with Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Pape Sarr should Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur be unable to play 90 minutes due to fitness issues.RicharlisonHe could be thrown in as No.
