Tottenham team confirmed vs Middlesbrough: Antonio Conte names strong side for FA Cup clash

Antonio Conte has named an unchanged Tottenham Hotspur team that he believes for the FA Cup fifth round tie at Middlesbrough.

Conte has decided to stick with the same Spurs side that saw off Leeds as they take on the Championship side at the Riverside Stadium.

Wing-backs Ryan Sessegnon and Matt Doherty both impressed and the duo have been given the chance to start again and press their claims.

Rodrigo Bentancur remains out but is expected to return for Monday's match against Everton following his ankle injury, while Conte said that Oliver Skipp is set to return to training next week after his groin problems.

Lucas Moura (dead leg) and Japhet Tanganga (knee) also miss the FA Cup tie, but Pierluigi Gollini is back on the bench after missing a couple of matches with illness.

Those who needs minutes like Steven Bergwijn, Davinson Sanchez, Sergio Reguilon, Emerson Royal and Joe Rodon are all on the bench and will be hoping for them as the game goes on.

Youngsters Alfie Devine, Dane Scarlett and Harvey White are on the bench.

Here is the Tottenham team Conte has selected:

Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Doherty, Winks, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Kane, Son.

Subs: Gollini, Emerson, Reguilon, Rodon, Sanchez, White, Devine, Bergwijn, Scarlett.
