The lineups for the Conference League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Vitesse have been announced. Antonio Conte, who makes his debut as manager of the Spurs, opts for more fixed values than predecessor Nuno Espírito Santo in the lost match in Arnhem two weeks ago. The game starts at 9 p.m. in London.
Tottenham’s line-up differs in just one place from that against Manchester United (0-3 defeat), Saturday in the Premier League. Giovani Lo Celso is not part of the starting eleven, so Sergio Reguilon plays. Steven Bergwijn is sitting on the couch. At Vitesse, Loïs Openda surprisingly does not start in the base. The attacker scored both goals against sc Heerenveen (1-2 win) on Saturday and also scored against Go Ahead Eagles (1-2 defeat) in the previous round, but Thomas Letsch still opts for Thomas Buitink. Oussama Darfalou also does not start in the attack. Maximilian Wittek was in doubt, but is fit enough for a starting spot.
The duel between Tottenham and Vitesse could be crucial for the final verdict in Group G. The Londoners managed to collect only four points in three games under Nuno, while the Arnhem team is well on six points. Stade Rennes is at the top with seven points, while NS Mura has no chance and is scoreless at the bottom.
Tottenham Hotspur line-up: Lloris; Emerson, Romero, Dier, Davies, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Skipp, Lucas Moura; Kane, Son
Set-up Vitesse: Schubert; Dukhi, Bazoer, Rasmussen; Dasa, Bero, Tronstad, Gboho, Wittek; Frederiksen, Buitink.
