Richarlison To Miss The Game | 4-2-3-1 Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup Vs Nottingham Forest | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur had to settle for a point as they drew with West Ham United in their previous Preimer League fixture. However, they received a boost when competitior Aston Villa dropped all three points against Manchester City.

It means Spurs can climb to the fourth position if they win against Nottingham Forest this weekend. They are currently fifth in the points table with 57 points after 30 games. They have a game advantage and can bank on it to earn a Champions League berth for next season.

Defence

Guglielmo Vicario will be seen operating between the sticks as usual. He dropped an impressive performance in his previous game and will aim to continue doing the same. No change at the right-back position as Pedro Porro retains his spot.

Boss Ange Postecoglou wouldn’t want to disturb the centre-back duo of Micky Van de Ven and Cristian Romero. They have been effective in the recent times. Left-back Destiny Udogie also remains intact in the lineup.

Midfield

Expect Pape Matar Sarr to walk into the XI in place of Rodrigo Bentancur, who struggled to make an impact against West Ham United. Yves Bissouma will be the other holding midfielder.

James Maddison is likely to operate as an attacking midfielder despite a dip in form recently. Notably, Giovani Lo Celso and Dejan Kulusevski are the other options available for the same spot.

Though Brennan Johnson is fit to start the game, Dejan Kulusevski might get the nod. No threats to Timo Werner’s place as the left winger. The German attacker has been influential over the past few games and will want to carry on the momentum.

Attack

Heung-min Son will continue operating as the striker in the absence of Richarlison, who will miss the clash due to slight niggle in his knee.

Manor Solomon, Ryan Sessegnon and Fraser Forster are the notable absentees for this fixture for Spurs.
