Antonio Conte can discover his new Tottenham gamechanger vs AC Milan on one condition

Antonio Conte has a decision to make when it comes to his Tottenham wing-backs to take on AC Milan in their Champions League Round of 16 second leg tie. Trailing 1-0 from the opener following Brahim Diaz's early strike at the San Siro, the pressure is very much on the Lilywhites with a place in the quarter-finals of Europe's premier competition there for the taking.

On the left, Ivan Perisic looks set to start with no other options really available to the head coach due to Ryan Sessegnon's injury. Eric Dier's suspension for the return leg also complicates things for Conte as that means Ben Davies will take his place in the back three unless the boss springs a surprise and calls one of Davinson Sanchez or Japhet Tanganga into the backline.

On the right, things are a bit more complicated for Conte as he has Emerson Royal and Pedro Porro to choose from. The Brazilian started at the San Siro and was one of Spurs' standout players on the night, before again impressing in the West Ham and Chelsea wins that followed.
