    DigitalTeez: The balance in Spurs midfield isn't there. Lo Celso isn't a defensive midfielder and no Skipp or Hojbjerg in sight. Could be a very tough game.

  4. 'Decisions in life, all of them have risk'published at 17:00 British Summer Time 21 October 2021

    Nuno doesn't believe his decision to rest lots of his first team players is a risk.

    "No. It's not about that," he said. "If someone gets that interpretation, I cannot do anything.

    "And when you decide to think about the risk, if you always think about the risk, you cannot decide. Decisions in life, all of them have risk.

    "So it's about trying to analyse and see what is better for us in terms of our process during the week and for the future."

  5. Decision to pay off again?published at 16:56 British Summer Time 21 October 2021

    Nuno Espirito Santo has rested a whole batch of players before in the Europa Conference League and the outcome was a 1-0 loss to Pacos de Ferreira in a qualifying game.

    Tottenham did, however, then go on to beat Wolves in the Premier League and then triumph 3-0 over Pacos de Ferreira to progress to the group stage.

    Spurs have West Ham this weekend. Nuno's decision paid off before, will it again?

    Vitesse v Tottenham (17:45 BST)

    As we knew, it is all change for Tottenham in the Netherlands tonight. Eleven changes in fact.

    With Harry Kane and Son Heung-min among those watching from the sofa back in London, Spurs boss Nuno Espirito Santo has named a completely different team to the one which beat Newcastle in the Premier League on Sunday.

    Dutch winger Steven Bergwijn comes in for his first appearance in five weeks following a foot injury, while there are also starts for keeper Pierluigi Gollini, midfielder Dele Alli, winger Bryan Gil and 17-year-old striker Dane Scarlett.

    The bench is full of youngsters, including 18-year-old identical twins Michael and Matthew Craig.

    Vitesse XI: Schubert, Doekhi, Bazoer, Rasmussen, Dasa, Bero, Tronstad, Wittek, Frederiksen, Darfalou, Openda.

    Subs: Oroz, Hajek, Von Moos, Gboho, Domgjoni, Houwen, Yapi, Buitink, Vroegh, Cornelisse, Huisman, van haveren.

    Tottenham Hotspur XI: Gollini, Tanganga, Sanchez, Rodon, Davies, Lo Celso, Winks, Gil Salvatierra, Alli, Bergwijn, Scarlett.

    Subs: Austin, White, John, Walcott, Clarke, Cesay, Matthew Craig, Michael Craig, Lyons-Foster, Markanday.

  8. Great games and comebackspublished at 16:47 British Summer Time 21 October 2021

    There's plenty more action coming up tonight with Tottenham and West Ham the two Premier League sides involved:

    Harry Kane finally got off the mark in the Premier League at the weekend with a goal in Sunday's 3-2 win at Newcastle.

    There's been no problem with his goalscoring form in the Europa Conference League, however, with five goals in three games - including scoring the competition's first-ever hat-trick.

    But he won't get the chance to add to that tally tonight with Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo opting to leave Kane and the other nine outfield players from the Newcastle game at home.

    With Spurs looking to strengthen their place at the top of Group G will it prove a wise move, or a foolish one?
