Ryan Mason has shaken up his Tottenham team to take on Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League.
The 31-year-old acting Spurs head coach will need to win all four his remaining games in charge if he is to match his record from two years ago when he took caretaker charge as a 29-year-old and won four of his six Premier League games. Mason will also want to press his own claims to be considered for the full-time job as chairman Daniel Levy looks for the next Tottenham manager.
Mason appears to have stuck with a back three but has made plenty of changes to the team and squad with Eric Dier benched and Clement Lenglet coming in for the England international.

Emerson Royal returns to the starting line-up and appears to be playing on the right of the back three with Pedro Porro ahead of him. Ben Davies appears to be on the other flank.
Richarlison gets the nod up front, following his first Premier League goal of the season, with Son Heung-min and Harry Kane. There is also a return to the bench for the first time since February for Yves Bissouma following his ankle injury.
The team named also could lend itself to a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 with Porro able to play further up the pitch.
Here is the team Mason has gone for:
Forster; Emerson, Romero, Lenglet; Porro, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Davies; Son, Kane, Richarlison. Subs: Austin, Sanchez, Dier, Bissouma, Sarr, Perisic, Lucas, Kulusevski, Danjuma.
