Tottenham team confirmed vs Wolves: Romero and Sanchez in defence as Kane and Ndombele start

Tottenham Hotspur are back in action at Molineux as Nuno Espirito Santo faces his old team again but this time in the Carabao Cup third round.

The Portuguese must balance this tough cup match with Sunday's north London derby at Arsenal as he looks to get Spurs back on track after back-to-back defeats in the Premier League.

Espirito Santo has named a starting XI mixed with those who started in the defeat against Chelsea and some fresh legs.

One such mix is his central defensive pairing of Davinson Sanchez and summer signing Cristian Romero, with his Atalanta colleague Pierluigi Gollini in goal.

Japhet Tanganga is back from suspension and plays at right-back but Lucas Moura and Steven Bergwijn remain out through injury.

Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso need to continue to build up their fitness levels and both start against Wolves as does Harry Kane up front, with Son Heung-min on the bench.

Here is the Spurs team Espirito Santo has chosen to take to the pitch at Molineux:

Gollini; Tanganga, Sanchez, Romero, Davies; Ndombele, Skipp, Alli; Lo Celso, Kane, Gil.

Subs: Austin, Doherty, Rodon, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Son, Scarlett.
