Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that alterations are in order for Sunday’s Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.
The Lilywhites head to the West Midlands on the back of a 1-1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final, making next week’s trip to Germany a must-win.
With everything on the line in Europe and nothing on the line in the Premier League, Postecoglou will rotate his resources on Sunday afternoon, perhaps quite considerably.
Indeed, only a handful of players might be retained from Thursday’s fixture, including Brennan Johnson, as Wilson Odobert was only an unused substitute in midweek after hamstring tightness.
However, Dominic Solanke and Son Heung-min should be spared, as Mathys Tel and Richarlison – hoping to make just his third Premier League start of the season – come into the fray.
Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr could also reprise the midfield partnership that was such a success in Postecoglou’s first season, but there should not be any respite for James Maddison.
The same goes for Pedro Porro and Guglielmo Vicario in defence, but Archie Gray, Ben Davies and Djed Spence are all primed and ready for minutes as Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Destiny Udogie make way.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Vicario; Porro, Gray, Davies, Spence; Sarr, Bissouma, Maddison; Johnson, Richarlison, Tel
