Nuno Espirito Santo promised changes for tonight’s visit of Slovenia minnows Mura in the Europa Conference League and has delivered nine of them.
Only Dele Alli - who captains the side - and Sergio Reguilon remain from the XI that started Sunday afternoon’s north London derby defeat to Arsenal.
Dane Scarlett is just 17 but started the first leg of the ECL play-off against Pacos de Ferreira, and is handed another opportunity to lead the linein what is Spurs’s easiest group game on paper.
Bryan Gil was one of the few bright spots from Sunday’s dismal defeat at Arsenal and was always expected to start, having joined Nuno in his pre-match press conference, while Argentine pair Giovani Lo Celso and Cristian Romero also come into the side.
Backup goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini started the draw at Rennes and can expect to be the No.1 during the group stage.
Steven Bergwijn and Ryan Sessegnon remain Nuno’s only absentees, with no return date set for either player.
