Ahead of the return of Premier League football on Boxing Day, Tottenham players will be looking to use Wednesday's friendly against Nice to play their way into Antonio Conte's side. Following a six-week hiatus from league action with the 2022 World Cup taking place, Spurs return to the pitch on Monday afternoon when they visit Brentford.
Warming up for the game with friendly wins over Motherwell and Peterborough United Under-21s at Hotspur Way, French side Nice are Tottenham's final opponents before Premier League action resumes. An opportunity for Conte to take a good look at a number of his squad, those on show need to seize their chance and give him something to think about in terms of his team selection ahead of the Brentford showdown.
