Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview

Tottenham are looking to finally break their curses and make a deep run this season, which has started perfectly for them. Richarlison has remained a leader in the attacking unit and has gradually established himself as their main set-piece target, forming a feared combination with Mohammed Kudus.

With Brennan Johnson adding further depth, it will be interesting to see whether he starts or if Rodrigo Bentancur, with 5 passes leading to chances, gets another opportunity in that role. In defense, Pedro Porro and Cristian Romero serve as key tacklers, while goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario continues to be a crucial presence between the posts.

Tottenham Probable Starting Lineup – Guglielmo Vicario (GK); Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Djed Spence (Defenders); João Palhinha, Ismaïla Sarr, Brennan Johnson, Xavi Simons, Mohammed Kudus (Midfielders); Richarlison (Forward).
