Tottenham predicted team vs Brighton as Postecoglou makes Mikey Moore and Timo Werner decision
Here's the Tottenham Hotspur team we reckon Ange Postecoglou could select to face Brighton in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon
by Alasdair Gold · football.londonAnge Postecoglou will be hoping that his changes in midweek benefit his Tottenham Hotspur side as they take on Brighton away in the Premier League on Sunday.
Spurs have won five matches in a row in all competitions and this encounter at the Amex Stadium arrives just two-and-a-half days after their 2-1 win in Hungary against Ferencvaros in the Europa League. For the game in Budapest, Postecoglou made seven changes to the starting XI that won 3-0 at Manchester United last Sunday.
Micky van de Ven and Rodrigo Bentancur were rested up entirely as will be Destiny Udogie, who Postecoglou believed could be fit to return if his involvement in training on Friday and Saturday went to plan. He also has Djed Spence, who was left at home to prepare for the game in case he had to fill in for Udogie or potentially Pedro Porro, who played the full match on Thursday night. Radu Dragusin is also ready if called upon after serving his European suspension.
Dominic Solanke only came on to the pitch for the final 10 minutes or so, while Brennan Johnson, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski all played a little over 25 minutes each, Johnson only further boosting his confidence in scoring what made it a goal in five consecutive games.
The main decision Postecoglou could have to to make, other than potentially handing Porro or Romero a rest, is with Son Heung-min still out, whether Timo Werner makes it three starts in a row or 17-year-old Mikey Moore gets another chance to impress after his full debut in midweek.
