Spurs look to bounce back from a narrow defeat to Manchester City when they travel to The Netherlands to face AZ Alkmaar at 5:45 pm on March 6. Ange Postecoglou’s side put up a good fight against the Premier League Champions but a youthful attack couldn’t find a response to Erling Haaland’s 12th-minute strike. Here is our Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup for the Europa League Round-of-16 tie.

Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup Vs AZ Alkmaar for March 6

How Tottenham Hotspur Have Lined Up Recently

Guglielmo Vicario continued his great form since returning from injury, with four saves against Manchester City. Another way the Italian has positively impacted The Lilywhites since his return has been with his distribution. The 28-year-old completed 27 of his 29 passes against the Citizens. This ability means his defenders can trust him with ball as they know he will put it in a good area for Spurs to start an attack.

In defence, Archie Gray continued to fill in alongside Kevin Danso. Overall, the backline, including Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie, limited City to few clear-cut chances. Spurs’ full-backs will have to continue to impress over the next few weeks as the emerging Djed Spence looks to establish himself as a starter when everyone is fit.

Tottenham Hotspur struggled to win the midfield battle. An engine room of James Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Lucas Bervall lost a combined 11 duels. This may allow the more defensive-minded Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr to break into the lineup.

Spurs went young in attack for the visit of Manchester City. 20-year-old Wilson Oderbert was given his third Premier League start of the season on the left wing. Mathys Tel started upfront but again struggled to get involved, touching the ball only 13 times. Brennan Johnson lasted the full game but only touched the ball 32 times.

Tottenham Hotspur’s Recent Form and Tactics

February was a month when Tottenham Hotspur learned how to win again. However, Postecoglou’s side was still on thereceiving end of some damaging losses. They exited both domestic cup competitions with disappointing losses to Aston Villa and Liverpool and Manchester City ended their hopes of ending the month unbeaten in the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur do have some tactical issues to address now players have returned from injury. Against Manchester City, average position graphs show Spurs’s right side of the pitch, Porro and Johnson, were playing far too close to each other. This was because the full-back was playing very advanced and the former Nottingham Forest winger was dropping back to receive the ball. This is something Postecoglou needs to address ahead of the trip to The Netherlands.

Injuries and Suspensions To Consider

Tottenham are set to welcome Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, and Dominic Solanke back into the side against AZ. Their first-choice centre-back pairing hasn’t started together since a 4-3 loss to Chelsea in December. The former Bournemouth striker has been out since scoring an own goal in a North London Derby loss to Arsenal in January. The trio are likely to be eased back into action but could still start against AZ.

Spurs’ fitness crisis is finally over and they have just three names on their injury list. Dejan Kulusevski has not travelled after suffering a foot injury that will keep him out until at least the international break. Ben Davies is close to a return but is still doing individual work after suffering a knock in The Lilywhites’ win over Manchester United. Richarlison is also nearing a return from a calf injury picked up against Liverpool.

Spurs will play their first Saturday match since January 4 when they travel to Portman Road to take on Ipswich Town at 3 pm on February 22. Ange Postecoglou’s side have been a regular fixture on Sundays over the past two months, with their Europa League commitments pushing Premier League games back. Here is our Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup as The Lilywhites look to build on a win over Manchester United.

Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup vs Ipswich Town For February 22

How Tottenham Hotspur Have Lined Up Recently

Guglielmo Vicario made his long-awaited return from injury against Manchester United. The Italian goalkeeper made six saves as Tottenham kept their second straight Premier League clean sheet. The 28-year-old proved any claims that Antonin Kinsky was brought to replace him as Spurs’ number one were wide of the mark.

In defence, Archie Gray was finally given a much-needed break. The 18-year-old had started every game since a 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth on December 5. A back four of Pedro Porro, Kevin Danso, Ben Davies, and Djed Spence contributed as Tottenham defended well to secure a confidence-boosting win over The Red Devils.

James Maddison made a goal-scoring return to the side after three weeks out with a calf injury. The 28-year-old’s nine Premier League goals lead his side this season. Lucas Bergvall, a bright spot in Tottenham’s injury crisis, completed 89% of his passes. Rodrigo Bentancur played well before coming off injured.

Dejan Kulusevski struggled against new Manchester United wing-back Patrick Dorgu, losing possession 20 times. Mathys Tel worked hard but only completed one of his four dribbles and struggled with his execution. Heung-min Son was Tottenham’s best attacker, making four key passes.

Tottenham Hotspur’s Recent Form and Tactics

Back-to-back domestic cup exits killed the rising mood among Spurs fans but The Lilywhites have improved their form over the past few weeks. They’ve won four of their last seven games and are slowly resurrecting their Premier League campaign. Despite their terrible form in 2025, Tottenham are only nine points off eighth-placed Fulham, which could be enough for a European place.

The past few years have proved the biggest challenge of an injury crisis can be introducing fit-again players back into the lineup. This is the challenge facing Postecoglou over the next few weeks as Tottenham’s injury crisis eases. Everyone saw how Liverpool’s title challenge fell apart last season after they survived January and February without Mo Salah. The Spurs manager needs to pick his best-performing players for the run-in, regardless of their reputation.

Injuries and Suspensions To Consider

Danso, Bentancur, and Son were all taken off with knocks against Manchester United. However, the trio should all be fine to start against Ipswich. Timo Werner is training again and should be available for selection soon. Radu Dragusin (knee), Dominic Solanke (knee), Micky van de Ven (thigh), Richarlison (calf), and Cristian Romero (thigh) will all be out for the next few weeks.

Spurs will look to take advantage of a needed full week’s rest when they welcome Manchester United to London at 4:30 p.m. on February 16 in a battle of underperforming giants. Ange Postecoglou has spent seven days reflecting on two disappointing cup exits to Liverpool and Aston Villa. Here is our Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup in a big game for two under-pressure managers.

Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup Vs Manchester United For Feb. 16

How Tottenham Hotspur Have Lined Up Recently

Antonin Kinsky has started his career in England as Spurs’ number 1. However, with Guglielmo Vicario back in training this week, the 21-year-old will likely have to settle for a bench role for the rest of the season. The young goalkeeper gave a good account of himself, making 2.8 saves per game compared to the Italian’s 2.4.

In defence, new signing Kevin Danso has had a rough start to his Tottenham career. In two games, his team have conceded six goals. His struggles were evident at Villa Park, the 26-year-old won just two of his seven duels. Tottenham’s defenders have been the standouts in defence recently, with Pedro Porro and Djed Spence both impressing against Villa. The returning Destiny Udogie will have to work hard to get back into the side.

An area that would’ve benefitted massively from the free mid-week, Tottenham’s midfield should look rejuvenated against Manchester United. Lucas Bergvall has played the most football of his short career over the past few months. The 18-year-old has gradually shown his fatigue, winning just 50% of his duels against Villa. Rodrigo Bentancur was brilliant in Spurs’ last Premier League win but as the runners around him have tired, he’s been left exposed defensively.

Dejan Kulusevski was Tottenham’s best player at Villa Park, assisting Mathys Tel’s first goal for the club. With Dominic Solanke still out for a few weeks, Spurs will hope their new striker can hit the ground running in his first Premier League match. Mikey Moore was given his second Premier League start against Villa but was substituted after a difficult first half.

Tottenham Hotspur’s Recent Form and Tactics

Despite all the injuries, Spurs have stuck to their tried and tested 4-2-3-1 system. Now, with players returning from injury, their role players are battle-tested and more prepared to impact games from the bench. Postecoglou could have changed to have a more defensive system and got better results. However, his side would’ve struggled to revert to their original style and everything he had built would be torn down.

Tottenham had started to build form before they crashed out of the cups. They finally won their first Premier League match of 2025 with an impressive away win over Brentford – and secured their place in the Europa League round of 16 by beating Hoffenheim and Elfsborg. Against a Manchester United side that is only one place ahead of the Lilywhites in the league, Spurs will look to make a statement.

Injuries and Suspension To Consider

Postecoglou finally received some good injury news this week. Vicario, James Maddison, Udogie, Wilson Odobert, and Brennan Johnson, all returned to training. The former two are good to go this weekend and will add some much-needed quality and depth to Spurs’ squad. The latter three are likely to be given a few more sessions before they return to action.

Tottenham Hotspur were eliminated from the 2024/25 FA Cup after suffering a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa at Villa Park. The pressure keeps mounting on Ange Postecoglou’s future, but he could at least welcome back one important defender in Destiny Udogie for the next Premier League game.

Tottenham Hotspur Get Destiny Udogie Boost

Udogie Could Return After Six Weeks Absence

As per The Sun’s Tom Barclay, the Lilywhites could welcome back the Italian full-back for their upcoming clash against Manchester United in the league. The 22-year-old has been out of action since he sustained a hamstring injury towards the end of December 2024 during the 2-2 draw against Wolves in the Premier League

The player could finally be available for selection and is in line to play a part against the Red Devils in the next game. This will be an important clash for Postecoglou after seeing pressure mount on his future as Tottenham Hotspur boss following their recent eliminations from the FA Cup and Carabao Cup. The Lilywhites are also stuck in 14th place in the Premier League, having won just one of their last eight games in the competition and need to defeat the Red Devils to take away some pressure from the coach.

How Can Udogie’s Return Help Spurs?

The Tottenham boss pointed at his side’s injury crisis and the absence of key players like Udogie for his side’s poor form in recent months, claiming after the Aston Villa match: “(Guglielmo) Vicario, (Cristian) Romero, Destiny, (Micky) Van de Ven, (Dominic) Solanke, (Wilson) Odobert… I could go on and on. We had 10 senior players missing. If you take seven or eight key players from any team and you’re playing the best team in the league at the best, I don’t think you make judgements in these moments.”

Spurs look to bounce back from a devastating 4-0 loss to Liverpool when they take on Aston Villa at 5:35 pm on February 9. After having their Carabao Cup dreams ended by the Reds, Ange Postecoglou’s side will look to keep their FA Cup hopes alive when they travel to Birmingham. Here is our Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup for a huge game in both sides’ seasons.

Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup Vs Aston Villa For February 9

How Tottenham Hotspur Have Lined Up Recently

Antonin Kinsky was a busy man during the Liverpool game. The January signing made six saves as his defence failed to stop attack after attack. Djed Spence was the Tottenham defender with the most credit left after a terrible team performance. The 24-year-old won seven duels and was not dribbled past. Kevin Danso only won one aerial duel but had a decent individual debut. Ben Davies and Archie Gray both struggled with the intensity of a semi-final at Anfield.

Tottenham’s midfield was the main disappointment from a heartbreaking result. Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr only completed 24 passes between them. Rodrigo Bentancur was slightly better but still only won five of his 12 duels. A strong midfield is key to winning big games and Postecoglou will likely use this performance as an example when looking at where he can improve his side in the summer.

Richarlison’s nightmare season continued when he was forced off injured after 45 minutes against Liverpool. The Brazilian had recently returned from a two-month injury absence. This meant Mathys Tel made his Spurs debut earlier than anticipated. The teenager struggled to get involved in a hostile Anfield atmosphere. Tottenham’s other two attackers, Dejan Kulusevski and Heung-min Son were equally as quiet and the Lilywhites will need to be more of a threat if they are going to win at Villa Park.

Tottenham Hotspur’s Recent Form and Tactics

Spurs lined up with an uncharacteristically defensive midfield against Liverpool. Lucas Bergvall was dropped for the more experienced minds of Bissouma, Sarr, and Bentancur. The trio struggled massively and Postecoglou should return to his usual attacking style and formation against Villa.

Read More: Tottenham Hotspur Injury Crisis Continues: ACL Nightmare Expected to End Season

Before the Liverpool game, Tottenham had gradually rebuilt their form. Wins over Hoffenheim, Elfsborg, and Brentford had built some momentum that was demolished with defeat in the semi-final. With one cup competition crossed off Tottenham’s list, they must beat Villa and keep their FA Cup hopes alive. Failure to do so could see fan morale reach an all-time low.

Injuries and Suspension To Consider

Richarlison’s injury was a kick in the teeth after a long spell on the sidelines already this season. There is no timeline yet for the striker’s return so new striker Tell will have to carry the void until Dominic Solanke returns. Micky van de Ven is doubtful for the game. The 23-year-old hasn’t played since returning from a month’s absence against Elfsborg.

A group of players including Wilson Odobert, James Maddison, Destiny Udogie, Guglielmo Vicario, Timo Werner, and Brennan Johnson could return for the Manchester United game on February 16. Radu Dragusin is out for the season after tearing his right ACL.

Tottenham Hotspur were able to finish off their 2025 winter transfer business with a bang thanks to their late coup of Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel. Well, there is now an uplifting update on the loanee’s long-term future at the North London club.

Tottenham Hotspur Likely to Sign Mathys Tel On Permanent Transfer

What Did Ange Postecoglou Say About Tel’s Future?

The Lilywhites were able to secure the signing of the 19-year-old forward on loan for the remainder of the 2024/25 season. However, it has also been reported that they have the option to sign him on a permanent basis in the summer window for just over £50 million.

Read More: Tottenham Hotspur ‘Star’ Slammed for Lacking ‘Killer Mentality

Ange Postecoglou was questioned over the length of Tel’s stay at North London before their Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Liverpool, and he responded: “He will play a significant part in our end to the season for sure and beyond. He will be a Tottenham player. I think he will show everyone he will be a Tottenham player in the next six months. I didn’t bring him here for six months.”

The Spurs coach also spoke about his role in convincing Tel of the move to the Lilywhites, stating: “There is something to be said for honesty and integrity. I think I have a pretty compelling story to tell because I think when I speak to players, I am not trying to sell anything that there isn’t plenty of evidence for. It is not about smooth talking or selling. There is a good story here that I really believe in. I speak from a strong conviction that what I am saying will come to fruition.”

What Can Spurs Expect From Tel?

The French forward could make his debut for the Lilywhites in their Carabao Cup clash against Liverpool, and there will be expectations from him to add more fireworks to their attacking line. Tel is a speedy and versatile figure attacking player, who is naturally a no.9 and can even slot into the left-wing role if necessary.

Spurs look to reach their first cup final since 2021 by holding on to a delicate 1-0 lead when they play Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg. Ange Postecoglou’s side secured their first Premier League win in seven matches with an impressive 2-0 away win over Brentford. Here is our Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup for a pivotal game in the Lilywhites season.

How Tottenham Have Lined Up Recently

Antonin Kinsky got his first Premier League clean sheet and had to earn it by making three saves. The goalkeeper is staking a claim for Guglielmo Vicario‘s number-one spot when the Italian returns from injury. However, the 21-year-old is likely going to have to settle for minutes in the Europa League when he is eventually registered. Helping Tottenham reach their first final in four years would be a great start to his career in London.

With Micky van de Ven once again unavailable and Radu Dragusin out for the rest of the season after tearing his ACL, Archie Gray and Ben Davies again deputised for their injured teammates at centre-back. The former has flourished and the game time he has received has been one of the few positives of Tottenham’s injury crisis. Another bright point has been the resurgence of Djed Spence. The 24-year-old had only played 20 Premier League minutes in two years at Spurs prior to the start of the season. He won man of the match with a sublime performance against Brentford.

Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma were impressive in a double pivot against Brentford. The pair won all their aerial duels and both completed 91% of their passes. The pairing may get another chance to impress against Liverpool as Spurs look to hold on to their narrow advantage.

Mikey Moore started a Premier League game for the second time this season. The youngster was taken off at the end of the first half for Lucas Bergvall. Heung-min Son has looked back to best recently: he assisted Pape Matar Sarr’s deciding goal against Brentford. Richarlison has held down the striker spot well in Dominic Solanke’s absence but will likely be replaced by Mathys Tel soon.

Tottenham’s Recent Form and Tactics

Tottenham’s first Premier League win in 2025 may have only come at the weekend but the Lilywhites have been building momentum for the past couple of weeks in the Europa League. Victories over Hoffenheim and Elfsborg secured Spurs’ place in the round of 16 and gave them a much-needed midweek break in a few weeks.

Read More: Tottenham Hotspur Injury Crisis Continues: ACL Nightmare Expected to End Season

However, now is no time to rest. The game against Liverpool could define their season. If Tottenham finally break their long trophy drought then their lowly 14th place in the Premier League will be forgotten. Postecoglou will be free to build the Lilywhites his way and in his image. That image includes a brave, free-flowing style of football, so don’t expect the 59-year-old’s side to sit back and hang on to their 1-0 lead.

Injuries and Suspensions to Consider

Van de Ven missed the Brentford game as he didn’t feel he was ready for the intensity of Premier League football. It is unclear whether the extra four days of preparation will have him ready for a Carabao Cup semi-final at Anfield. It was confirmed yesterday that Radu Dragusin has torn his right ACL and will miss the rest of the season. This is a bitter blow for a young defender who was starting to prove his quality.

Solanke (knee), Cristian Romero (thigh), Wilson Odobert (thigh), James Maddison (calf), Destiny Udogie (thigh), Vicario (ankle), Timo Werner (thigh), and Brennan Johnson (calf), are all out and will be disappointed to be missing such a big game in Spurs’ history.

Liverpool play Tottenham Hotspur in the second-leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final. Spurs won the opening leg 1-0, meaning Liverpool must be victorious to reach the final. Here is our Liverpool predicted lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur.

Liverpool Predicted Lineup Vs Tottenham Hotspur

How Liverpool Have Lined-up Recently

Alisson Becker is Liverpool’s goalkeeper with Caoimhin Kelleher the back-up only in the FA Cup. The Irishman did not play in the first-leg. Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold start in the full-back roles. Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk are first-choice centre-backs.

Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister pair as holding midfielders whilst Dominik Szoboszlai is Arne Slot’s attacking midfielder.

On the left-wing is Cody Gakpo, with Mohamed Salah on the right. The Egyptian has goal contributions in each of his last three matches. Luis Diaz is at striker.

Liverpool Injuries and Absentees to Consider

Liverpool currently have a couple of injuries.

Alexander-Arnold was substituted off in the last match on 70 minutes. Slot said: “He is going to miss the game tomorrow and we have to see if he is able to play on Sunday (Vs Plymouth in the FA Cup)…he is already on the pitch, not with the team but with the rehab coach”.

Meanwhile, Joe Gomez has been training, and was aiming to return to the squad with Jota and Jones, but didn’t manage. He could be fit for this midweek fixture.

Tottenham Hotspur are working hard to add more quality to their squad before the end of the 2025 winter transfer window. They seem keen on bolstering their defensive options and are now facing a wait for Chelsea man Axel Disasi.

Tottenham Hotspur Agree Axel Disasi Signing From Chelsea

What is Disasi’s Stance On Tottenham Move?

Fabrizio Romano has reported that the Lilywhites have had an offer accepted by their London rivals for the Frenchman on a loan deal until the end of the season. It has been reported that Tottenham have agreed to pay Chelsea a fee of around £5 million for this deal as they look to add more options to their defensive line.

Read More: Tottenham Hotspur ‘Star’ Slammed for Lacking ‘Killer Mentality

Romano has also stated that Aston Villa have now stopped talks with the Blues over the defender, even though he had agreed terms with them over a winter move. It’s added that Unai Emery’s side have backed away from this operation because Chelsea are reportedly asking for a higher loan fee as they feel that the Villans are direct competition for a top-4 place in the Premier League.

Romano also notes that it’s “up to the player” on whether or not the Frenchman wants to join Spurs before the transfer deadline.

How Has Tottenham’s Winter Business Been So Far?

Tottenham Hotspur have been quite proactive in adding more players to their squad in the ongoing transfer window. They signed a new goalkeeper in Antonin Kinsky because of Guglielmo Vicario’s injury issues, and also recalled forward Dane Scarlett from his loan at Portsmouth. They have also signed South Korean youngster Min-hyeok Yang, who was loaned to QPR for the remainder of the 2024/25 season.

Read More: Tottenham Hotspur See Bid Rejected For Premier League Ace

The latest signing for Ange Postecoglou’s side has been that of Kevin Danso from RC Lens, but it’s clear that they want more defenders to fix their shaky defensive issues. Disasi is naturally a centre-back, but can also operate as a right-back.

AC Milan has been the home for the outcast Fikayo Tomori over the last four years. Now, having proven his point, he might be returning to old territory. Tomori is subject to interest from Tottenham Hotspur for a winter window move with the aim of adding an extra option to their defensive line.

Fikayo Tomori Considers Tottenham Hotspur Transfer

AC Milan Might Trade Tomori to Tottenham

Fabrizio Romano reported that Tottenham Hotspur and AC Milan are “in negotiations” for Tomori. He adds that the player is among three options that Spurs are considering as a central defender.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou would benefit from such a reinforcement at this moment.

Spurs are missing their two main central defenders. Both Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero suffered injuries in a 4-3 loss to Chelsea on December 8, 2024. Since that defeat, neither player has been back to full fitness and Postecoglou has tried to impose his style with a makeshift defence.

An 18-year-old midfielder, Archie Gray, and a deputy defender, Radu Drăgușin, do not strike critics as an ideal partnership to be the last line of security in Postecoglou’s plan. The Australian has stayed faithful to his principles and is under fire as Spurs are winless in their last seven league games.

Fans cannot claim that the football is not entertaining, but the openness of their team has tipped too many results the wrong way. The AC Milan defender would want to bring back that balance of probability in their favour and at the same time complete a chapter that is unfinished in his career.

Tomori’s Second Coming in English Football?

Rejection has been the making of Tomori. The central defender, who spent eleven years at Chelsea’s academy, was on the books of the Blues’ first team between 2016 and 2021. He found himself frozen out at the end of his time in West London, leaving for a new life in Italian football with AC Milan.

Tomori put pen to paper for a permanent deal with AC Milan at the end of the 2020/21 season. A year later, he was an integral part of the side’s first Scudetto-winning squad in more than a decade. The Rossoneri rewarded his contributions with an extension for his contract ongoing until June 2027.

Since he signed that deal, the 27-year-old has worn the red and black shirt 71 more times in Serie A and was also a pivotal part of the squad that reached the semi-final of the UEFA Champions League in the 2022/23 campaign. This transfer has been an emphatic success as a spotlight for his ability.

Tomori’s time in Italy has shown his worth and Tottenham should embrace the idea of his signature.
