Ange Postecoglou will be looking for his Tottenham side to make it back-to-back wins in the Premier League if they can overcome Fulham on Sunday.
Spurs’ season has been dogged by inconsistency and big wins against Manchester City, Manchester United and Aston Villa have been offset by disappointing defeats to the likes of Crystal Palace, Ipswich and a second half collapse at Brighton. A victory against Marco Silva’s Fulham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would bring Postecoglou’s men a rare set of back-to-back Premier League wins.
Postecoglou is without goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, Micky van de Ven, Richarlison, Wilson Odobert and Mikey Moore, and was set to make a late decision on Cristian Romero and much would depend on whether he could train properly on Saturday after his recovery from a toe injury, with the vice-captain deemed an ‘unlikely’ returnee by the head coach.
The Australian made four changes for the midweek Europa League draw with Roma and he will have to decide who comes back into the starting line-up and who drops out, with James Maddison, Destiny Udogie and Yves Bissouma among those hoping to start.
Here’s the Tottenham team we reckon Postecoglou could select to face the Cottagers on Sunday afternoon.
Goalkeeper – Fraser Forster
Right-back – Pedro Porro
Centre-back – Radu Dragusin
Centre-back – Ben Davies
Left-back – Destiny Udogie
Central midfield – Dejan Kulusevski
Central midfield – Yves Bissouma
Central midfield – James Maddison
Right wing – Brennan Johnson
Centre forward – Dominic Solanke
Left wing – Son Heung-min
