Tottenham Hotspur welcome Ipswich Town to North London this weekend in the Premier League, so let’s take a look at our predicted Spurs XI for the encounter.
Predicted Spurs XI vs Ipswich Town
Goalkeeper: Guglielmo Vicario comes back into the side following Fraser Forster’s impressive showing in the Europa League against Galatasaray.
Right-back: Djed Spence earns a rare start at right-back with Pedro Porro needing a deserved rest following some tough 90-minute runs in the last two weeks.
Centre-back: Cristian Romero passes a late fitness test to start for Tottenham after he went off injured against Aston Villa and missed the Galatasaray match.
Centre-back: Radu Dragusin endured a tough evening in Turkey on Thursday but retains his place in the side. After all, he played incredibly against both Man City and Aston Villa.
Left-back: Destiny Udogie was handed a rest in mid-week, but replaces Archie Gray in the line-up against Ipswich to add some extra drive to that Spurs attack on the left.
Pivot midfielder: Rodrigo Bentancur impressed off the bench against Galatasaray and looks in line to start another Premier League match in the pivot role.
MORE SPURS STORIES
Central-midfield: Pape Matar Sarr is preferred over James Maddison at the moment, thanks to his high-pressing and defensive work off the ball. In all honesty, it is a toss-up between Madders and Sarr this week though.
Central-midfield: Dejan Kulusevski had a chance to earn Spurs a point with a long-range effort against Galatasaray on Thursday but will be hoping to get back amongst the goals this weekend.
Right-wing: Brennan Johnson was taken off after just 45 minutes for a reason on Thursday – he is a dead certain starter on Sunday against Ipswich Town.
Striker: Dominic Solanke scored off the bench to keep his superb form going against Galatasaray. Could we see another brace in the Premier League this weekend?
