live broadcast on October 19th Tottenham midweek league match against Manchester United . The team coach Conte said in an interview before the game that he could let Perisic and Son Heung-min and Kane partner with the forward line.

Conte said: "C Ronaldo 's performance last season was decisive. He scored three goals. After the game, I said we lost to Ronaldo, not Manchester United, because I think we played much better than them, but we lost."

"It is crucial to your confidence to have a good performance in Old Trafford. We will face a difficult environment on Wednesday and we need to contribute well against a strong team. We want to play a great game and show our own characteristics. First of all, we have to show ourselves that the team is improving and the level is improving, and then I reiterate that we want to satisfy our fans."

Speaking of Richarlison and Kulu are expected to be absent. Conte said: "We happened to play 352 in some games last season. I have two formations to play. And as far as all my players are concerned, I think the three central defenders are a comfortable way to play for my players, and sending two midfielders or three midfielders can change things."

"The players are ready, and we can also make the best decisions through a training class. In addition, I can push Perisic to the front line and let him partner with Son Heung-min and Kane. We will wait and see, we are ready for these two formations."
