Tottenham boss Conte happy shaking up formation: Not always 3-4-3

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is happy to shake-up his formation when needed.

Conte admits he's moving away more and more from his 3-4-3 system.

He explained: "If you remember last season we used 3-5-2 and we played two or three games with 4-4-2. We try to use the best formation. At the same time, don't lose our identity.

"This is very important because when you change formation something on the pitch is going to change. The last game we worked with this system. It can be for me a good option for the future. We see. We go game by game. When you play every three days you also face injuries.

"For me against Brighton it was important to give a bit of rest to Richy… We go game by game. You know when you go to play a game every two to three days, you have to face also injuries. For me against Brighton, it was really important to give a bit of rest for Richarlison because Kulusevski and Moura weren't available. I think it's positive to have an alternative to our 3-4-3."
