Predicted Tottenham XI to face Man City – Ben Davies starts
Tottenham Hotspur take on the reigning Premier League champions this weekend, but Man City are staring down the barrel of a potential five defeats in a row.
Predicted Tottenham XI vs Man City
Goalkeeper: Guglielmo Vicario had a troubling international break with Italy, although he received some unfair blame for the goals he conceded against France.
Right-back: Pedro Porro starts at right-back as usual, but he will need to improve his back-post defending against Man City’s star attackers – especially Erling Haaland.
Centre-back: Radu Dragusin moves over to the right side of defence against Man City, with Cristian Romero joining Micky Van de Ven on the treatment table.
Centre-back: Ben Davies comes in to deputise for the injured Dutchman but will face a tough evening up against the likes of Haaland, Foden, and Silva.
Left-back: Destiny Udogie starts at left-back despite some up-and-down form this season. He will need to do much better at tracking his man on Saturday evening.
Pivot midfielder: Yves Bissouma replaces Rodrigo Bentancur as he starts his seven-match suspension. This leaves Postecoglou with far less flexibility and quality on the bench though.
Central-midfield: Pape Matar Sarr is preferred over James Maddison once again. If Postecoglou is going to throw Madders back in at some point, I can’t imagine it would be Man City away.
Central-midfield: Dejan Kulusevski has a chance to live up to his Dekihad status after two goals and an assist for Sweden last week on international duty.
Right-wing: Brennan Johnson scored for Wales this week and will be looking to kickstart another goalscoring run in a Lilywhite shirt.
Striker: Dominic Solanke had a nice rest on international duty with only 18 minutes of action so he should be fresh and raring to go.
Left-wing: Heung-min Son starts on the left side of attack. We all know he loves a game against Man City! Fingers crossed that continues this weekend.
