Tottenham Hotspur Preview: Pressure On Second Season Specialist Postecoglou

Predicted Lineup - Fraser Forster, Archie Gray, Radu Dragusin, Ben Davies, Djed Spence, Pape Matar Sarr, Rodrigo Bentancur, Lucas Bergvall, Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke, Timo Werner

Coming into this game manager Postecoglou has been very open about his ability to win trophies in his second season at clubs and the UEFA Europa League will be a huge chance to do that. C

Currently they have won four of their six games this seasons in all competition only tasting defeat at the hands of Newcastle United and Arsenal. However this will be a much easier test for them. They will be expected to win this match.

One man that has performed remarkably as of recent is winger Brennan Johnson. Johnson had a poor display against Arsenal which Spurs fans didn’t take too well. However he now has two goals in his last two games for the club and will be hopeful to continue on that run in this match as well.

Predicted Lineup - Mateusz Kochalski, Matheus da Silva, Behlul Mustafazade, B Huseynov, Elvin Cafarguliyev, Julio Romao, Patrick Andrade, Leandro Andrade, Yassine Benzia, Abdellah Zoubir, Juninho
