Spurs Face PSG in UEFA Super Cup Clash with Bold Tactical Shift

Tottenham are set to do battle against PSG for the UEFA Super Cup at Stadio Friuli in Udine, Italy

Thomas Frank has named his Tottenham team to face PSG in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday evening in the Italy city of Udine.

Spurs take on the Champions League winners and Club World Cup finalists and will have to use their own experience of trophy-winning now following their Europa League victory in Bilbao in May. They have a new head coach at the helm after Frank replaced Ange Postecoglou.

Frank does have Dominic Solanke back and available for the bench, while Joao Palhinha makes his first competitive start for the club after playing 45 minutes in the defeat at Bayern Munich alongside Rodrigo Bentancur.

Frank has utilised a back three for the first time this summer in order to counter PSG's attacking quality. That means a start for Kevin Danso alongside Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven. Sixteen-year-old Jun'ai Byfield is among the Spurs subs.

Here's the starting line-up that Frank has selected in Udine to face Luis Enrique's side.

Vicario; Danso, Romero, Van de Ven; Porro, Bentancur, Palhinha, Spence; Sarr; Kudus, Richarlison. Subs: Kinsky, Austin, Davies, Vuskovic, Byfield, Gray, Bergvall, Odobert, Johnson, Tel, Solanke.
