Tottenham
The North London club remains without the services of Guglielmo Vicario, Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson, Destiny Udogie, Timo Werner, Wilson Odobert, Pape Matar Sarr, James Maddison, Djed Spence, Cristian Romero, and Micky van de Ven.
Romeo and van de Ven are closing in on a return. Meanwhile, Richarlison’s availability is also a doubt as he was forced off against Leicester City last time out.
Ange Postecoglou’s team will line up in a 4-3-3 formation. With Antonin Kinsky ineligible, Brandon Austin will feature in goal. Pedro Porro and Archie Gray will be the full-backs, while Radu Dragusin and Ben Davies will feature at the heart of the defence.
In the centre of the park, Lucas Bergvall will start alongside Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur. The trio will look to ensure they dominate the ball and control the tempo of the game. Dejan Kulusevski and Mikey Moore will feature on the flanks providing much-needed width to their attacks, while skipper Son Heung-min lead the line for Tottenham against Elfsborg.
Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Austin; Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Gray; Bergvall, Bissouma, Bentancur; Kulusevski, Son, Moore
elfsborg
The visitors have a fully fit squad for this fixture and given the kind of performance they put up against OGC Nice, it will be more or less the same XI.
Elfsborg will line up in a 3-4-3 formation, where Isak Pettersson will be in goal. The back three will be made up of Sebastian Holmén, Terry Yegbe, and Ibrahim Buhari. They will look to keep things tight at the back and will receive support from Simon Hedlund and Niklas Hult who will feature as wing-backs.
In the centre of the park, Besfort Zeneli will partner with Timothy Ouma. They will try and ensure Tottenham do not boss the possession. Arber Zeneli and Gottfrid Rapp will feature on the flanks for the away team, while Jalal Abdullai will spearhead the Elfsborg attack against Tottenham on Thursday.
Probable Lineup (3-4-3): Petterson; Buhari, Holmen, Yegbe; Hedlund, B. Zeneli, Ouma, Hult; A. Zeneli, Abdullai, Rapp
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Elfsborg
