Here's the confirmed Tottenham team that Igor Tudor has named to take on Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night
Igor Tudor has made four changes to his Tottenham team to face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League round of 16 on Tuesday night.
The interim head coach admitted on Monday that Spurs' priority this season must be Premier League survival as the north London club sit just a point above the drop zone with nine games to go. Tudor admitted that the game against Diego Simeone's side was something of a free hit to try some new things with that focus on the Premier League.
Tudor had already confirmed that Richarlison would get his first start under him, with Dominic Solanke on the bench, perhaps with the trip to Liverpool on Sunday in mind. Mathys Tel and Randal Kolo Muani start either side of the Brazilian.

The Croatian now has enough fit centre-backs to play his favoured back three properly with the right people in the right positions, with captain Cristian Romero back in action after his four-game Premier League suspension.
Djed Spence is also back from injury and takes his place as left wing-back with Souza and Yves Bissouma not registered to play.
In goal, 22-year-old Antonin Kinsky starts in goal in place of Guglielmo Vicario for his first Champions League start beyond his previous qualifying round experience.
In the midfield, Archie Gray and Pape Matar Sarr start in a young midfield pairing with Xavi Simons, Conor Gallagher and Joao Palhinha all on the bench.
