Predicted Tottenham XI to face Rangers – Lucas Bergvall and Lankshear start

Tottenham Hotspur visit Rangers at the Ibrox Stadium on Thursday evening as they aim to get back to winning ways in the Europa League. Let’s take a look at our predicted Tottenham XI for the Europa League fixture against Rangers.

Predicted Tottenham XI to face Rangers

Goalkeeper – Fraser Forster: With Spurs likely to field a makeshift back four in this game, it is highly improbable that Ange Postecoglou will make further changes to disrupt the defence. Forster should therefore retain his place in goal.

Right-back – Pedro Porro: Few changes are expected to an already struggling backline, so Porro is likely to continue at right-back.

Centre-back – Radu Dragusin: With Cristian Romero injured, Spurs will rely on Dragusin to fill the right-sided centre-back role once again.

Centre-back – Archie Gray: With Davies and Van de Ven set to miss this game, Postecoglou will most likely deploy Gray as the left-sided centre-back in what will be a makeshift back four.

Left-back – Destiny Udogie: Udogie is expected to retain his place at left-back, as Ange will want some stability in the defensive line. The need for another full-back cannot be overstated.

Pivot midfielder – Rodrigo Bentancur: With his seven-match domestic ban in effect, Bentancur is almost certain to start in European competitions for Tottenham for the foreseeable future.

Central midfielder – Lucas Bergvall: Postecoglou is likely to freshen up his midfield for this match, with Lucas Bergvall expected to feature once again in Europe.

Central midfielder – James Maddison: Maddison was rested during the weekend game against Chelsea, so he should be fully fit and ready to start in this match.

Right-midfielder – Dejan Kulusevski: Brennan Johnson appeared to pick up a slight knock against Chelsea, meaning Kulusevski is likely to shift to the right while Johnson sits this one out.

Striker – Will Lankshear: Ange has been rotating key players in select games, and this week could see Solanke given a much-needed rest. Lankshear, fresh off his suspension, is expected to lead the line.

Left-midfielder – Heung-min Son: With injuries to Mikey Moore, Odobert and Richarlison, Son is likely to start on the left, aiming to lead his side to victory.
