Tottenham confirmed team vs Norwich: Antonio Conte makes change for final match of the season

Antonio Conte has made one change to his Tottenham Hotspur team for their match at Norwich to end their Premier League season.

If Spurs can take home at least a point at Carrow Road on Sunday afternoon then they will finish fourth and qualify for Champions League football next season regardless of Arsenal's result at home against Everton back in north London. Despite a stomach virus inside the Tottenham camp affecting six players in the past 10 days Conte expected to have the same squad available as he did for the match against Burnley.

Hugo Lloris played the full 90 minutes against the Clarets last Sunday despite having had a fever and stomach problems. Dejan Kulusevski, Pierluigi Gollini and Harry Winks also caught the bug ahead of that game and earlier this week Emerson Royal had to miss a training session after feeling unwell before returning to training as normal at Hotspur Way.

Against Norwich, Lloris, Emerson and Kulusevski all start, the latter coming into the team for Lucas Moura. Harry Kane, who cancelled an appearance on Friday at the Museum of London's new display celebrating his career because he was feeling unwell, was back in training on Saturday and he starts in the club's final match of the campaign.

Cristian Romero has not been able to recover in time from his hip injury suffered in the draw at Liverpool this month and Davinson Sanchez makes it three consecutive starts on the right of the back three.

Rodrigo Bentancur left the pitch limping heavily after the win against Burnley but he starts in the middle alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Here is the team Conte has selected for the match:

Lloris; Sanchez, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Kane, Son.

Subs: Gollini, Rodon, Craig, White, Winks, Devine, Bergwijn, Lucas, Scarlett.
