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.

The Dane has already made a strong decision this week in his first competitive game after telling football.london that he had left Yves Bissouma out of his travelling squad due to disciplinary issues, after repeatedly being late to training.

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.
