The Spurs are grappling with the difficult choice of excluding either Pape Matar Sarr, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, or Brennan Johnson from the starting lineup. Each player shows strong form, which complicates selection, especially since Kulusevski has the versatility to play in multiple positions. The coach's task is made more challenging by injuries in defense, highlighting a contrast between plentiful attacking options and a shortage in defensive depth.
With Destiny Udogie feeling lingering soreness from his early departure in the previous game, Postecoglou faces a dilemma. If Udogie isn’t risked, Djed Spence could be switched to left-back for a second consecutive start. Meanwhile, Yves Bissouma’s return from suspension adds depth in midfield but the ongoing absences of several key players like Rodrigo Bentancur and Cristian Romero underscore their defensive constraints.
The predicted Tottenham lineup suggests a 4-3-3 formation featuring Forster as goalkeeper, supported by a defense that struggles with injuries. Bissouma’s return is crucial for bolstering the midfield, while the attacking front will heavily rely on the fitness of key players like Heung-min Son and Dejan Kulusevski, whose versatility may provide essential tactical flexibility.
