Tottenham confirmed team vs Ludogorets: Dele Alli, Tanguy Ndombele and Japhet Tanganga all start

Jose Mourinho has handed Dele Alli a start in the Europa League clash with Ludogorets in the Europa League on Thursday evening.

Alli, who has fallen out of favour with the Tottenham boss in recent weeks, has been given the chance to prove his worth in the Group J clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

And he is not the only one as Spurs make 10 changes for the game.

Centre-back Davinson Sanchez, another who has struggled for game time of late, starts following the injury to Toby Alderweireld against Manchester City last weekend.

Lucas Moura on Carlos Vinicius

Mourinho has gone with a strong side for the Europa League clash, which will not confirm Tottenham's place in the last 32 with victory, but will put them a win away from doing just that.

Alongside Sanchez in defence will be Japhet Tanganga, with Matt Doherty and Ben Davies taking the full-back roles.

Alli is joined in the midfield by Harry Winks and Tanguy Ndombele, with the front three of Gareth Bale, Lucas Moura and Carlos Vinicius.

Mourinho has a strong bench to choose from if things do not go to plan, as was the case against Antwerp.

Harry Kane, Eric Dier, Sergio Reguilon, Son Heung-min, Serge Aurier and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg are all in reserve, alongside youngsters Harvey White, Jack Clarke, 16-year-old Dane Scarlett and goalkeepers Brandon Austin and Alfie Whiteman.

Here is the team Mourinho has chosen:

Hart, Doherty, Sanchez, Tanganga, Davies (C), Winks, Ndombele, Dele, Lucas, Bale, Vinicius. Subs: Austin, Whiteman, Aurier, Dier, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Son, Kane, Clarke, White, Scarlett.
