Tottenham Hotspur will be boosted by the returns of two key players for Monday's Premier League encounter with Everton in North London.

Antonio Conte confirmed at his pre-match press conference that Rodrigo Bentancur has recovered from an ankle problem, while Lucas Moura is back after picking up a knock in training.

Both players could be set for immediate recalls to the first XI, but Oliver Skipp and Japhet Tanganga continue their recoveries from groin and knee injuries respectively.

Conte has settled on an established back three and that is unlikely to change despite the FA Cup exit to Middlesbrough, as Eric Dier, Cristian Romero and Ben Davies protect Hugo Lloris.

Bentancur's return to fitness spells danger for Harry Winks, with the Uruguay international expected to displace his teammate to partner Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg here.

Matt Doherty produced his best performance in a Spurs shirt at Elland Road last weekend, but Conte has hinted at using Dejan Kulusevski as a wing-back in the past and may do so here given his boosted attacking options.

Harry Kane and Son Heung-min are indispensable in the final third, and Lucas could rejoin the duo if Kulusevski is shifted back a touch for the visit of the Toffees.

Tottenham possible starting lineup: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Kulusevski, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Sessegnon; Lucas, Kane, Son
