Tottenham team confirmed vs Fulham: Winks, Sissoko, Hojbjerg, Sanchez and Ndombele all start

Jose Mourinho has named four central midfielders in his Tottenham Hotspur team to face Fulham in the Premier League on Wednesday night.

The Spurs boss had already revealed that Harry Winks would be starting the game but he has also named Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Moussa Sissoko and Tanguy Ndombele alongside the England international.

That could well mean that Sissoko pushes up into a right wing role, able to tuck in to make a midfield three at times, while Ndombele operates as a number 10.

In all Mourinho has made 10 changes from the team that won at Marine in the FA Cup third round on Sunday evening.

Davinson Sanchez and Eric Dier pair up in the centre of defence with Serge Aurier and Sergio Reguilon either side of them.

Hugo Lloris is back in goal with Harry Kane and Son Heung-min bringing the goal threat.

Erik Lamela is back on the bench after his absence from action, along with Gareth Bale and Dele Alli.

Here is the team Mourinho has chosen to face Scott Parker's men:

Lloris; Aurier, Sanchez, Dier, Reguilon; Winks, Hojbjerg; Sissoko, Ndombele, Son; Kane. Subs: Hart, Davies, Alderweireld, Doherty, Dele, Bale, Lamela, Lucas, Vinicius.
