Tottenham Hotspur travel to Sporting CP this afternoon to play their second game of the Champions League group stage.
The Premier League side got off to a strong start to their European campaign last week by beating Marseille 2-0 and tonight they will face the team most likely to challenge them for top spot in the group. The home team also kicked off their European season with a midfielder in the first round of matches by beating Europa League champions Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 away from home.
Antonio Conte has made a change for tonight’s match with Ben Davies replacing Clement Lengrest in the starting lineup.
The Italian has also opted to keep Richarlison in the top eleven following his performance against Marseille, leaving Dejan Kulusevski on the bench for another week.
