Tel, Simons And Danso To Start | 4-2-3-1 Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup Vs Brighton

Pedro Porro will fill in as the right-back, while Destiny Udogie looks to make a difference on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.

Radu Dragusin will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Archie Gray and Conor Gallagher will operate as the holding midfielders as they focus on winning the 50-50 battles at the centre of the park.

The talented trio of Mathys Tel, Xavi Simons and Randal Kolo Muani will operate just ahead of them as part of the Tottenham attack. All three of them need to combine well if the North London club are to come out on top this weekend.

Joao Palhinha and Pape Matar Sarr will be named on the bench as they wait for their chance to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if needed.

Attack

Dominic Solanke will spearhead Tottenham’s attack up top. He has to find a way to be a real menace in the final third.

Richarlison will have to be content with a place on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the final quarter of the game if Tottenham are in need of a goal by then.
