Tottenham confirmed team vs Morecambe: Ndombele, Dele, Sessegnon, Gil and Rodon start

Antonio Conte has made eight changes as Tottenham Hotspur welcome Morecambe in the FA Cup third round on Sunday afternoon.

The tie at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has provided the opportunity for Conte to give many players a rest ahead of a packed schedule of big matches and others in the squad a chance to impress against the League One strugglers.

The Spurs boss had already indicated that Tanguy Ndombele and Dele Alli would play and that Harry Kane could be rested and he has been true to his word.

Harry Winks also returns to the team with Matt Doherty and the returning Ryan Sessegnon in the wing-back roles.

Joe Rodon has been struggling with a rib injury but he will battle through the pain to start in the back three.

With Son Heung-min's hamstring injury, Bryan Gil and Giovani Lo Celso both get some much-needed minutes under their belts.

Youngsters Dane Scarlett and Maksim Paskotsi are both on the bench.

Here is the Tottenham team Conte has gone for on Sunday afternoon:

Gollini; Tanganga, Rodon, Davies; Doherty, Ndombele, Winks, Lo Celso, Sessegnon; Dele, Gil.

Subs: Lloris, Sanchez, Paskotsi, Emerson, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Lucas, Scarlett, Kane.
