Tottenham Hotspur will take on against a struggling Sheffield United side at Bramall Lane Today. The North London side beat West Ham in their last league game, while their opponents for Thursday have struggled of late, losing two and drawing one in the league. They were also knocked out of the FA Cup by Arsenal.
Spurs, on the other hand, have won one and drawn one match since the league restarted. Just a point separates Spurs from Sheffield United, and Mourinho’s side will hope to win and key faint their top-four hopes alive.
Team News: The three absentees for today’s match will be defenders Japhet Tanganga and Juan Foyth, as well as young striker, Troy Parrott.
Let’s take a look at the possible lineup that Jose Mourinho may put out against Sheffield United:
Predicted Tottenham Hotspur Lineup vs Sheffield United
Goalkeeper
Captain Hugo Lloris will start in goal for the North London club in the game against Sheffield United.
Defence
Eric Dier and Davinson Sanchez have been paired at the back by Jose Mourinho in the last two games, and they could continue at the heart of the defence. Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen have been relegated to the bench and it seems uncertain that the two veteran Belgians will return to the starting XI.
There may not be any changes in the full-back positions as well, as Ben Davies and Serge Aurier will continue at left-back and right-back, respectively.
Midfield
Giovani Lo Celso and Moussa Sissoko started in central midfield last time around against West Ham United, and both put in solid performances. The two could retain their places in the Tottenham Hotspur lineup.
Harry Winks is an option, while Tanguy Ndombele could also be brought on from the bench, but it may seem unlikely considering recent reports about his desire to leave the club.
Dele Alli will most likely continue in the No. 10 role for the club.
Attack
Harry Kane and Son Heung-min should start in attack, with Kane leading the line and the South Korean playing off the left. Steven Bergwijn could come into the Tottenham Hotspur lineup, in place of Lucas Moura on the right flank.
