Predicted Spurs XI, latest team and injury news vs Brentford | OneFootball

Antonio Conte’s side finally return to Premier League action this evening as they host Brentford at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs’ trip to Burnley was postponed an hour before kick-off on Sunday, leaving the north London outfit without a match for the past seven days, meaning last time out, they were humiliated by NS Mura in the Europa Conference League.

We had the benefit of seeing the lineup that the Italian would’ve selected at Turf Moor but after several days of training back in N17, it will be interesting to see if he has had any second thoughts over the team.

So, here’s the XI we’re predicting tonight…

There could be eight changes from last week’s embarrassing defeat in Slovenia.

Between the sticks, club captain Hugo Lloris should resume his no.1 duties over Pierluigi Gollini but Conte has a decision to make in defence with Cristian Romero still absent through injury.

Ben Davies and Eric Dier are likely to return and they could be joined by Japhet Tanganga, who remains from last Thursday and is selected over Davinson Sanchez and Joe Rodon.

In midfield, Oliver Skipp should also remain and he’ll have Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg back alongside him, meaning £25m-rated Tanguy Ndombele, once dubbed “unplayable” by Joe Hart, is axed.

Conte’s usual first-choice wing-back duo Sergio Reguilon and Emerson Royal are set to return on either flank, so Ryan Sessegnon – who was sent off against Mura – and Matt Doherty drop to the bench.

Keeping with his 3-4-3 system, the Italian may turn to Heung-min Son and Lucas Moura to support Harry Kane as he often has done in the league.
