As Tottenham Hotspur prepare to avenge their recent 4-2 defeat against Man City, it remains a challenge to call their predicted lineup.
However, seeing how Spurs played a rotated side in their latest 1-0 victory against Preston North End in the FA Cup, we expect Cristian Stellini to make as many as 8 changes against Pep Guardiola’s side.
Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup vs Man City
In goal, Hugo Lloris, who has been rather error-prone this season, with Louis Saha telling The Games Cabin that he could be replaced in the summer is set to come in for Fraser Forster for Sunday’s clash.
With Matt Doherty’s time at Tottenham coming to a surprise end after his switch to Atletico Madrid was unintentionally made on a permanent basis, we expect new-boy Pedro Porro, hailed as a ‘baller’ by Jermaine Jenas to make his debut against former employers, Man City in our predicted lineup.
Next, the centre-back trio of Japhet Tanganga, Davinson Sanchez and Clement Lenglet that started against Preston is likely to be displaced by Cristian Romero, Eric Dier and Ben Davies.
At left wing-back, we expect Ivan Perisic to start instead of Ryan Sessegnon in our Tottenham predicted lineup against Man City, despite being ripped to shreds by Riyad Mahrez in both sides’ previous meeting.
The midfield duo of Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma could also be broken up, with the latter replaced for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, once branded as ‘technical’ by Martin Keown on Football Focus to start.
The front 3 that played in the FA Cup is set to see 1 change, with Harry Kane replacing Ivan Perisic as the natural striker in the side, joined by Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min in our Tottenham predicted lineup against Man City.
Tottenham Hotspur predicted line-up vs Man City: Lloris, Porro, Romero, Dier, Davies, Perisic, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Kulusevski, Kane, Son.
