Tottenham’s first match under the tenure of Antonio Conte comes against Vitesse in Thursday’s crucial European Conference League encounter.

Expect Conte to employ a 3-5-1-1 system he’s renowned for when the team’s are announced. It’s going to be interesting to see how strong of a side Conte decides to field against a Vitesse team who beat Spurs 1-0 in Holland a couple of weeks back.

Trailing the Dutch side by two points in Group G, Spurs need a win if they have ambitions of progressing into the next round. Conte will not want to bow out of the competition early, so expect him to play a handful of first-team players to obtain the desired result. However, Conte will still want to have a fresh set of first-team personnel for the trip to Everton on Sunday. With that in mind, who will Conte call upon for his first game in charge?
