Postecoglou to make shock defensive decision amid injury crisis | Tottenham predicted XI vs Wolves

 

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has come under fire for their poor results this term.

After missing out on Champions League football last year despite a healthy start, they were expected to mount a serious challenge this season but have lost half of their Premier League games.

Tottenham have lost four of their last five lague matches and are 12th in the table. Postecoglou’s devil-may-care approach has come under scrutiny, with pundits criticising his methods for their madness.

However, Spurs have also been ravaged by injuries. Postecoglou is still without Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Ben Davies for the upcoming game against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Djed Spence is suspended for this fixture after being sent off for two bookable offences in the 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest in their previous outing.

Guglielmo Vicario, Mikey Moore, Richarlison and Wilson Odobert remain on the treatment table.

Postecoglou confirmed it is still a bit early to tell about Radu Dragusin’s availability for the Wolves game.

Recent history also doesn’t favour Spurs. They have only won once in their previous five league meetings.

With Vicario out, Fraser Forster should continue between the posts and will hopefully produce a more assured performance than his recent calamities.

Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie opposite him. The main quandary for Postecoglou is in central defence. Yves Bissouma and Archie Gray may line up there.

Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Matar Sarr and Dejan Kulusevski will be in midfield, with Heung-min Son and Brennan Johnson on the flanks. Dominic Solanke is fit enough and should lead the line in attack.

Predicted Tottenham XI

(4-2-3-1): Forster; Porro, Gray, Bissouma, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur; Son, Kulusevski, Johnson; Solanke.
