Tottenham confirmed team vs Wolves: Ivan Perisic and Davinson Sanchez in as Conte makes changes

Antonio Conte has made two changes to his Tottenham Hotspur team as they welcome Wolves in Saturday's lunch-time Premier League kick-off.

Conte's men are are looking to get back to winning ways and continue their unbeaten start to the season after they picked up a point at Chelsea last weekend with a 96th minute equaliser from Harry Kane and now they face the very different challenge of Bruno Lage's Wolves.

Conte will be in the dugout for the game after being handed only a fine by an independent commission following the handshake incident with Blues boss Thomas Tuchel, who received a suspended one match ban, after the game at Stamford Bridge. Wolves will provide another tough test for Conte's side with the Midlands side having won at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium back in February.

Now the Spurs boss has decided to change up his Tottenham starting XI for the first time this season with one enforced change.

With Cristian Romero out with his adductor muscle injury, Davinson Sanchez has got the nod as the other player Conte turns to on that right-hand side of the back three as he did did in the final three matches of last season, including the north London derby, as Spurs kept three successive clean sheets.

Conte has decided to hand Ivan Perisic his full debut with the experienced Croatian replacing Ryan Sessegnon in the left wing-back spot. Richarlison also impressed when he came on at Chelsea but the Brazilian has had to settle for a place on the bench again.

Here is the team Conte has chosen:

Lloris; Sanchez, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Son. Subs: Forster, Doherty, Sessegnon, Lenglet, Tanganga, Bissouma, Gil, Lucas, Richarlison.
