Tottenham Hotspur take on Sheffield United in the Premier League tonight as they look to get back to winning ways.

Spurs lost the Carabao Cup final with a 1-0 defeat to Manchester City last weekend, with Ryan Mason unable to bring silverware back to Tottenham.

The interim boss beat Southampton in the Premier League in his first game, and will now be desperate for another Premier League victory.

It’s been seven days since Spurs last played, and Mason may consider some changes – here’s our predicted lineup for today’s game…

Hugo Lloris was one of the few Tottenham players to shine in the Carabao Cup final, and will almost certainly start in goal for Spurs today.

Toby Alderweireld and Eric Dier have been Mason’s preferred centre back pairing, and they look set to feature again today, with Serge Aurier at right back.

Sergio Reguilon should keep his place at left back, whilst Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s partner in midfield will be up for debate; we’re going with Tanguy Ndombele after he didn’t start the Carabao Cup final.

Going forward, Son Heung-min is likely to feature on the left, whilst this could be an ideal change for Gareth Bale to feature on the right flank.

Giovani Lo Celso v Lucas Moura may be a difficult choice, but we’re going for Lucas to play in behind Harry Kane as Tottenham’s number 10.

That would then leave the likes of Joe Hart, Japhet Tanganga, Davinson Sanchez, Moussa Sissoko, Lo Celso, Erik Lamela, Dele Alli and Steven Bergwijn among the substitutes.

Tottenham Hotspur starting XI: Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Dier, Reguilon; Ndombele, Hojbjerg; Bale, Lucas, Son; Kane.
