Tottenham Hotspur will seek to enter the top eight of the championship european league qualification when they face Rangers at Ibrox Stadium tonight. The Lilywhites are winless in their last two games in the competition, but remain in a comfortable position when it comes to qualifying for the next round.
That said, Ange Postecoglou hopes his team can pick up the three points against the Scottish giants and set the tone for the weekend's match against Southampton and then the Carabao Cup match against manchester united.
That said, here's a look at Spurs' potential starting lineup for the match.
goalkeeper – Fraser Forster is likely to keep his place in goal with Guglielmo Vicario still injured.
Defenders – Cristian Romero suffered another injury this weekend against Chelsea and will miss the next six weeks of action. Radu Dragusin and Ben Davies are therefore likely to start at the heart of the defence. Micky van de Ven may also not start due to his recent health problem.
Destiny Udogie could continue at left back, while Archie Gray could replace Pedro Porro on the right.
Bentancur will be in the center of the field
Midfielders – Pape Mata Sarr is likely to play as the team's deepest defensive midfielder. £75,000 earned weeklyRodrigo Bentancur's suspension by the FA is only valid in national competitions, so he could enter the Europa League and play as a right midfielder. There may even be an exit on the left side of the engine room for James Maddison.
Forwards – Son Heung-min may be rested as he has had muscle problems for much of the campaign, so Timo Werner could replace him on the left. Brennan Johnson was substituted against Chelsea after feeling unwell and may not be at risk against Rangers away from home, so Dejan Kulusevski could feature at right winger.
Dominic Solanke could lead the line as he hopes to lead the Lilywhites to a vital victory in Scotland.
Here's what the Spurs could look like on paper.
