Everton vs Tottenham LIVE: How could Antonio Conte lineup as he returns to the Premier League with a new team?
In his first match for Tottenham in the Europa Conference League against Vitesse, the Italian manager played his conventional 3-4-3 formation. This is the same formation and tactics he applied when he came in as the Chelsea manager and won the league.
With players like Bryan Gil and Ryan Sessegnon out, Conte will not be short of options for his return to the Premier League.
Conte could set his Tottenham team up with a three-man defensive system in front of goalkeeper and captain Hugo Lloris. Summer signing Cristian Romero could line up alongside Eric Dier and Ben Davies, who was preferred in the midweek game against Vitesse.
