Sports Mole looks at how Tottenham Hotspur could line up in Wednesday's EFL Cup clash with Nottingham Forest.

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte will make wholesale changes to his side for Wednesday's EFL Cup third-round contest with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

Son Heung-min will again be missing for Spurs, having undergone an operation on a fractured eye socket.

However, Conte said after Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Liverpool that the attacker still has a chance of being available to represent South Korea at the World Cup, which begins on November 20.

Richarlison is now in the latter stages of his recovery from a calf injury and could potentially be included in the squad for this match, while Cristian Romero has a chance of being available, with the Argentina international missing his side's last three games due to a thigh issue.

There will be a number of alterations from the side that took to the field for the first whistle against Liverpool, with Harry Kane among those likely to be given a rest.

Matt Doherty, Lucas Moura, Davinson Sanchez, Japhet Tanganga, Fraser Forster, Bryan Gil and Oliver Skipp are all in line for starting roles against Steve Cooper's side in the League Cup fixture.

Gil and Lucas could potentially play as a front two, while Pape Sarr, who was on the bench against Liverpool, will be hoping to feature in some capacity on Wednesday night.

Dejan Kulusevski made his return from injury as a substitute against Liverpool and could earn more minutes off the bench in this fixture.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Forster; Doherty, Sanchez, Tanganga, Lenglet, Sessegnon; Skipp, Bentancur, Bissouma; Lucas, Gil
