Mikey Moore rested - The Tottenham team that Ange Postecoglou must select vs Brighton

Tottenham barely have a chance to catch their breath as they are back in action on Sunday at Brighton in the Premier League after arriving home in the early hours of Friday morning.

Spurs are in a great run of form with five wins on the trot and they came through a potentially tricky Europa League tie at Hungarian side Ferencvaros on Thursday night with a much-changed side, featuring four teenagers in the starting line-up. Now Ange Postecoglou's side have just two and a half days to recover before they take on a high energy Brighton side at the Amex Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Tottenham boss has plenty of decisions to make for Sunday's match, not least whether to hand 17-year-old Mikey Moore a further chance to impress after an exciting full debut for the club in Hungary.

We asked our Spurs correspondent Alasdair Gold and head of football.london Lee Wilmot what side they expect Postecoglou to select on Sunday.

Postecoglou's decision to change much of his team for Thursday night's game paid off as he now has Micky van de Ven and Rodrigo Bentancur rested up completely and ready to step out at the Amex Stadium and potentially Destiny Udogie, who Postecoglou believes could be fit to return if his involvement in training on Friday and Saturday goes to plan.

The Tottenham boss 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 Porro, who played the full match on Thursday night. Centre-back Radu Dragusin is also ready if called upon after his Europa League suspension.

Dominic Solanke barely got on the pitch on Thursday night, while Brennan Johnson, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski all played a little over 25 minutes each, Johnson of course only further boosting his confidence with his fifth goal in as many games.

The key decision for Postecoglou will come down to whether Timo Werner starts for a third consecutive game after playing 64 minutes on Thursday night or whether the impressive Mikey Moore gets his first Premier League start. The fact that the Spurs head coach had plenty of praise for Werner's performances despite his miss on Thursday night and that he was taken off after the hour mark suggests he might get the nod.

It could also be a big ask for the 17-year-old Moore to start again just two-and-a-half days after his first 90 minutes in a month and only his second since the start of the season. His time will come soon but Postecoglou has often urged caution over the youngster despite his own excitement at his potential.

Gold's team: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Werner.

A number of key players got a good rest on Thursday night, with a select few playing a small part. That should not impact them too much as we head into Sunday's game at Brighton.

It's high line versus high line so there should be goals. Just hopefully more for Spurs than the home team.

Guglielmo Vicario starts in goal and the backline is as usual - Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Destiny Udogie, who is fit to return.

Then, I'd go attacking, as Ange Postecoglou has done in recent weeks. Rodrigo Bentancur in the holding (ish) role, with James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski alongside him in the three.

Then, up top, it's Dominic Solanke, flanked by Brennan Johnson and Mikey Moore for me. The teenager was a breath of fresh air against Ferencvaros and deserves a start in the Premier League.

Wilmot's team: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Maddison, Kulusevski; Johnson, Solanke, Moore.
