With Tottenham Hotspur set to face Man City in a contest of epic proportions, we have tried to pick the predicted lineup Antonio Conte is set to choose for Thursday night’s battle.

After getting comfortably beaten 2-0 by Arsenal, the last thing Spurs need is to get battered by Pep Guardiola’s side as well.

For the encounter against the Premier League champions, we expect the Italian tactician to make 3 vital changes.

Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup vs Man City

Despite Hugo Lloris’ howler in the North London Derby, the club captain is not expected to be displaced by Fraser Forster.

At right wing-back, Matt Doherty is likely to retain his place in our Tottenham predicted lineup aganst Man City, as Emerson Royal seems to have become second-choice in the position now.

Despite a rash performance against Arsenal, Cristian Romero remains Spurs’ best centre-back and is unlikely to lose his place.

Similarly, Eric Dier is also set to start against City, with there being no rhyme or reason to drop him.

At left centre-back, Antonio Conte could field Ben Davies instead of Clement Lenglet, trusting the Welshman, who has been there and done that in the biggest of games.

Ryan Sessegnon, who surprisingly started from the off against Mikel Arteta’s side is likely to lose his place to Ivan Perisic in our Tottenham predicted lineup against Man City.

Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg, aside from Harry Kane may be the side’s most in-form player this season, and as a result, there is no question that he is set to be one of the first name on the team sheet against the Sky Blues.

While Pape Matar Sarr impressed again in the North London Derby, Rodrigo Bentancur, who Antonio Conte labelled as an ‘important player’ could return, as hinted by the manager himself, as per the club’s official website.

Despite Richarlison now being fully fit, it is unlikely that he breaks up the front 3 of Dejan Kulusevski, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min for Thursday’s meeting.

Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup vs Man City: Lloris, Doherty, Romero, Dier, Davies, Perisic, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Kulusevski, Kane, Son.

Tottenham fans will hope that regardless of whether the predicted lineup they have in mind plays, they get a crucial result against Man City to get their season back on track.
