[Teams] Sporting vs Tottenham: formations confirmed

Tottenham are hoping to score two wins in two games when they face Sporting Lisbon in Portugal tonight.

Antonio Conte only made one change from the team that beat Marseille in the first group match last week. Ben Davies is the man remembered when he lined up on the left side of the three defenders with Clement Lenglet coming out.

Eric Dier retains his place in the center of Tottenham’s defense, while Cristian Romero forms the full-backs, then Davinson Sánchez joins Lenglet on the bench. Hugo Lloris once again maintains the Spurs goal with Fraser Forster among the substitutes.
