Tottenham Hotspur return to Premier League action today, as they take on West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns.

Spurs were in Europa League action on Thursday as they beat Ludogorets 3-1 in Bulgaria, but it’s back to domestic football today.

Jose Mourinho may well make some changes as he looks to rotate and keep his side fresh, and here’s our predicted line-up for today’s game…

Hugo Lloris will almost certainly start in goal, despite Joe Hart coming in to face Ludogorets on Thursday night.

Matt Doherty started in Bulgaria, so we’re backing Serge Aurier to come back in and join Toby Alderweireld, Eric Dier and Sergio Reguilon across defence.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg will start in front of the back four, with support from Moussa Sissoko and Tanguy Ndombele.

Son Heung-min and Harry Kane are likely to start in attack, with Lucas Moura, Steven Bergwijn and Gareth Bale battling for the right-wing spot.

Given that Moura and Bale both started against Ludogorets, this could be Bergwijn’s chance to shine, especially with Bale still gradually building up minutes.

Hart, Doherty, Moura, Bale, Giovani Lo Celso, Joe Rodon and Harry Winks seem good bets to be on the bench, though Carlos Vinicius is another option.

Tottenham predicted XI: Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Dier, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele; Bergwijn, Son, Kane.
