Antonio Conte has explained why Eric Dier's return to his Tottenham Hotspur team this weekend is so crucial.
The 28-year-old is available for selection after a thigh injury which has seen him play just one match since New Year's Day.
Spurs have leaked goals in recent matches without Dier and his return comes just as the north London club prepare to take on the runaway Premier League leaders Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday evening.
