Ange Postecoglou has named the Tottenham team that he believes can beat Brentford in Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Spurs escaped from a poor performance at Championship side Coventry on Wednesday night in the Carabao Cup thanks to last-gasp goals from Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson. Now Postecoglou's men will be looking to improve their Premier League form after back-to-back defeats against Newcastle United and Arsenal despite dominating much of the play.
Now Postecoglou must navigate a game against Brentford who will provide tough opposition after tight games at Manchester City and Liverpool this season and home victories against Crystal Palace and Southampton. The Tottenham head coach rested eight players from his starting line-up so all of the fresh players have returned.
The Australian has Yves Bissouma back in training following his groin injury and he is on the bench as Rodrigo Bentancur starts three games in six days in the centre of the midfield.
Postecoglou lost Wilson Odobert to a hamstring injury that will keep him out for a while, but has Timo Werner fit despite the German going off injured on Wednesday night. He is on the bench with 17-year-old Mikey Moore getting a spot alongside him with Ben Davies missing out.
Here's the Tottenham team that Postecoglou has chosen: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Son. Subs: Forster, Spence, Dragusin, Gray, Sarr, Bissouma, Bergvall, Werner, Moore.
