Tottenham Hotspur are back in action this evening as they host Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League.
Spurs lost 1-0 to Royal Antwerp in the Europa League on Thursday night, with Jose Mourinho clearly fuming at his side’s display.
It should now be a full-strength side for tonight’s game, and here’s our prediction for the Tottenham line-up…
Joe Hart didn’t even start against Antwerp, so it’s hard to imagine him featuring today; Hugo Lloris will surely be the starter against the Seagulls.
Mourinho has a tough choice at right back, but we’re going for Serge Aurier to start, whilst Toby Alderweireld and Eric Dier should resume their partnership at centre back.
Left back Sergio Reguilon played a full 90 minutes on Thursday, but he should start again here in order to give Spurs more attacking thrust going forward.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is already one of Mourinho’s most-trusted players, so he should start in midfield, alongside Moussa Sissoko and Tanguy Ndombele.
Son Heung-min and Harry Kane will be the key men in attack, whilst tough outings for Steven Bergwijn and Gareth Bale in midweek mean that Lucas Moura should start again.
Hart, Ben Davies, Matt Doherty, Giovani Lo Celso, Harry Winks, Bale and Carlos Vinicius seem strong shouts for the bench today.
Predicted Tottenham XI: Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Dier, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele; Moura, Son, Kane.
