Following a sigh of relief on Thursday night, Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur head across the capital for their next Premier League match.
Spurs’ success this season hinges on their progress in Europe, with upcoming Europa League ties taking precedence. Their remaining Premier League fixtures serve as preparation for these crucial European matches, starting with Fulham before the international break.
Postecoglou is likely to rotate the squad after the recent victory, as they gear up for the next challenge.
Here’s the predicted lineup for Spurs’ upcoming match at Craven Cottage.
GK: Guglielmo Vicario – Vicario has been solid since his return from injury and is expected to retain his place in goal on Sunday.
RB: Pedro Porro – Despite a mixed season, Porro’s defensive performance in the last match should see him keep his spot in the starting lineup.
CB: Cristian Romero – Romero showed improvement in the recent game and is likely to start again before the international break.
CB: Ben Davies – With rotation in mind, Davies could feature in place of van de Ven to manage minutes effectively.
LB: Destiny Udogie – Udogie may get a chance in the starting lineup after being on the bench in the previous match.
CM: Yves Bissouma – Bissouma’s presence in midfield will be crucial for Spurs, especially with the need to rotate the squad.
CM: Rodrigo Bentancur – With Bentancur back from suspension, he could provide stability in midfield for the upcoming match.
CM: James Maddison – Maddison’s creativity will be key for Spurs in the absence of Kulusevski, offering a different dimension to their attack.
RW: Wilson Odobert – Odobert’s impressive performance in the last match should earn him a starting role on the right wing.
ST: Dominic Solanke – Solanke’s return from injury has been vital for Spurs, and he will lead the line once again in the upcoming game.
LW: Mathys Tel – Tel could make a return to the starting lineup, providing width and attacking threat on the left flank.
