Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Tottenham Hotspur could line up for Sunday’s Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion.
Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou is still sweating over the fitness of two of his troops for Sunday’s Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium.
The Lilywhites bested Ferencvaros 2-1 in the Europa League on Thursday night without the services of Son Heung-min (thigh), Destiny Udogie (thigh), Wilson Odobert (hamstring) or Richarlison (unspecified).
Odobert and Richarlison are both out until after the international break, and it remains to be seen if Son and Udogie can shake off their recent issues in time for the trip south.
If Son is not risked, Postecoglou will have a huge decision to make on the left-hand side of the attack, where 17-year-old sensation Mikey Moore is pushing to replace the profligate Timo Werner.
However, there is every chance that Son will be given the thumbs-up to start alongside the in-form Brennan Johnson and Dominic Solanke, who has been called up to his first England squad in seven years.
After creating a staggering nine chances in the 3-0 win over Manchester United, Dejan Kulusevski should return to attack-minded midfield, where James Maddison and Rodrigo Bentancur will also pull the strings.
Udogie may be spared due to his previous thigh problems, though, meaning that Ben Davies could join Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Pedro Porro and Guglielmo Vicario at the back.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Davies; Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Son
