Richarlison wasted three good chances as Tottenham missed numerous chances in the opening stages of the encounter at Kenilworth Road.

After being down to 10 men at the start of the first half due to Yves Bissouma’s dismissal, Ange Postecoglou’s team was able to scrape off a 1-0 victory.

In our opinion, Postecoglou should start Brennan Johnson again for Richarlison instead of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in place of the Mali international against Fulham on Monday.

 

Tottenham predicted XI for Fulham clash

Due to his outstanding start to life in North London, Guglielmo Vicario is expected to preserve his spot in the Spurs lineup.

It would be unexpected to see Postecoglou make any changes to his backline given how well Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie, and Pedro Porro have played.

Romero was forced to leave Friday night’s victory over Peru due to injury, but the defender is optimistic that it is not serious.

In the middle of the field, Hojbjerg appears to have the best chance of replacing Bissouma, who is out due to suspension, while Pape Matar Sarr and James Maddison ought to get the start.

For Spurs this season, Son Heung-Min and Dejan Kulusevski have been constants, and if they both return from the international break without any apparent injuries, that trend looks likely to continue.

But this season, Postecoglou has been concerned about the left-wing position because no player has yet claimed the position as their own.
