“We are a team that works hard every day and our main goal is to get better and better. I hope it can continue in this competition as well.”

Well, Conte is really banking on more width and ball-holding ability in the form of Lucas.

Perisic also plays at full-back, so Spurs should be double-teamed on both flanks if selected.

The game should be set up well in this regard.

Tottenham XI: Lloris; Romero, Dyer, Davies; Doherty, Bentancourt, Hoibjerg, Perisic; Son, Kane, Lucas Moura

Sporting XI: Adan; Inassiu, Coates, Reiss; Pedro Poro, Ugarte, Marita, Nunu Santos; Edwards, Paulinho, Trincao

This was rare during the Mauricio Pochettino years or, to put it another way, in Antonio Contereign The Italian is a glaring antidote to the blandness displayed by Ferguson. In his own way, he brings intensity and identity to any club he manages.

Tottenham Hotspur the boss Antonio Conte urged his players to follow the lead of England’s other top clubs and use skill in their bid to become genuine title contenders.

Spurs suffered their second Premier League defeat on Wednesday after they went down 2-0 away to fellow top-six side Manchester United and also suffered a defeat at Arsenal on October 1.

They have been vastly outplayed in both fixtures and Conte feels his team must quickly figure out how to stop the opposition’s momentum in such tough fixtures.

Spurs are midway through a 43-day spell in which they play 13 matches, and the Italian admitted the rest of his squad will now be fully rested ahead of the midweek clash, where qualification for the Champions League knockout stages will be secured with a win in N17.
