How Tottenham Hotspur could line up against Crystal Palace

Sports Mole looks at how Tottenham Hotspur could line up for the Premier League fixture with Crystal Palace on Boxing Day.

Tottenham Hotspur play host to Crystal Palace on Boxing Day with Antonio Conte expected to make several changes to his starting lineup.

The Italian found the right formula to take points off Liverpool last weekend, with Spurs left ruing a succession of missed chances to eventually draw 2-2.

Nevertheless, Conte is likely to switch from a 3-5-2 to a 3-4-3 at the weekend, tinkering which will probably result in Dele Alli and Tanguy Ndombele dropping to the substitutes' bench.

Harry Winks did enough during that fixture to retain his spot in the centre, although Oliver Skipp is pushing for a Premier League recall on the back of his performance against West Ham United in the EFL Cup.

However, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is the senior player in that position, and the Denmark international is the most likely partner for Winks.

The change of system last weekend led to Lucas Moura only being named among the replacements, but the Brazilian should line up on the right flank on Sunday.

That is despite Steven Bergwijn impressing during the game with the Hammers, a contribution which will be deemed secondary to Moura having now scored three times since Conte's arrival.

Sergio Reguilon is in line to replace Ryan Sessegnon at left wing-back, with the remainder of the defensive selection staying the same.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Lloris; Sanchez, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Winks, Hojbjerg, Reguilon; Moura, Kane, Son
