Here is the Tottenham team we anticipate Ange Postecoglou will select to face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Friday night
As Tottenham visits Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Friday, Ange Postecoglou will be hoping to make it two wins in a row.
After an outstanding 4-1 victory over Newcastle United on Sunday, Spurs are back on track, and Postecoglou will want them to put struggling Forest to the sword. Giovani Lo Celso, who had a minor muscle injury during training this week, is the latest addition to Tottenham’s growing list of injured players. He will miss this game but should be back for the team’s home fixture against Everton the following week.
It’s possible that Postecoglou selected the same squad that defeated Newcastle despite this, but Lo Celso’s injury has probably validated that choice. Both Richarlison and Pape Matar Sarr made a significant impact in the attack and midfield, and the defence appeared well-balanced. However, Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie, who recently signed a new contract, will need to be cautious not to receive their fifth yellow card, which could result in a suspension.
The midfield was perfectly balanced with Dejan Kulusevski in the deeper role, albeit on the left, a side he’s not as used to despite being left-footed. Sarr and Yves Bissouma’s energy and creativity combined with Johnson and Son Heung-min’s pace up top threatened Newcastle throughout the match and should do so again against Forest.
This is the Tottenham squad that we believe Postecoglou will choose.
Goalkeeper – Guglielmo Vicario
Right-back – Pedro Porro
Centre-back – Cristian Romero
Centre-back – Ben Davies
Left-back – Destiny Udogie
