Team News: Tottenham Hotspur make three changes for AS Monaco clash

Spurs make three changes in Monaco

Tottenham Hotspur have made three changes for their Europa League clash with AS Monaco at Stade Louis II.

Manger Mauricio Pochettino has not gone with the same side that thumped Manchester City 4-1 at White Hart Lane on Saturday, with two of his changes coming in defence.

Kieran Tripper comes in for Kyle Walker at right-back, while Danny Rose replaces Ben Davies on the left-hand side of the back four. Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld continue their centre-back pairing.

Eric Dier and Dele Alli, who today received his first England call-up, start in defensive midfield, while Nacer Chadli has been brought in for Son Heung-min.

The Belgian winger is part of an attacking midfield trio that will support lone striker Harry Kane, who bagged his first goal for Spurs in the win over City.

For the hosts, Lacina Traore starts up front, with Bernardo Silva and Thomas Lemar on the wings. Joao Moutinho and Jeremy Toulalan are in the midfield, while Stephan El Shaarawy has to settle for a place on the bench.

AS Monaco: Subasic; Fabinho, Coentrao, Carvalho, Raggi; Toulalan, Moutinho, A.Traore; Silva, Lemar; L.Traore Subs: Nardi, Wallace, Dirar, Bakayoko, Pasalic, Carrillo, El Shaarawy

Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris; Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Alli, Dier; Chadli, Eriksen, Lamela; Kane Subs: Vorm, Fazio, Wimmer, Carroll, Clinton, Townsend, Winks
