Kulusevski, Bentancur on bench for Tottenham against Brighton

New signings Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur have both been named on the bench for Tottenham Hotspur's FA Cup fourth-round tie with Brighton & Hove Albion.

The duo arrived from Juventus on transfer deadline day, and Antonio Conte confirmed that both men would be fit to play a part during the visit of the Seagulls.

However, neither Kulusevski nor Bentancur have been named in the first XI, with Conte opting to name a full-strength team for his side's final shot at a piece of silverware.

Cristian Romero is fit to return to the starting lineup after nearly three months out with a hamstring issue, with the Argentine joining Ben Davies and Davinson Sanchez in front of Hugo Lloris.

Emerson Royal and Sergio Reguilon earn expected starts in the wide areas, as Harry Winks partners Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the middle while Oliver Skipp nurses a groin problem.

Son Heung-min also makes his comeback from a muscular problem in a front three for Spurs, as Lucas Moura and Harry Kane join the South Korean in the final third.

Tottenham starting lineup: Lloris; Romero, Sanchez, Davies; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Winks, Reguilon; Lucas, Kane, Son

Substitutes: Gollini, Doherty, Sessegnon, Rodon, White, Bentancur, Kulusevski, Bergwijn, Scarlett
