Solanke starts as Postecoglou makes seven changes – Predicted Tottenham XI v Brighton | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur continued their perfect start to the new Europa League era with a 2-1 win over Hungarian champions Ferencvaros in midweek.

Ange Postecoglou’s side picked up where they left off in the 3-0 win over Qarabag FK in the curtain-raiser, claiming a nervy victory in Hungary.

The Australian tactician named a heavily rotated starting line-up for the contest, with Mikey Moore, Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Will Lankshear coming into the team.

Goals from Pape Matar Sarr and Brennan Johnson helped Spurs claim a narrow win. A late goal from Barnabas Vargas set up a nervy ending, but Spurs got the job done.

Tottenham turn their attention to Premier League action this weekend and a tricky-looking trip to Brighton & Hove Albion.

Spurs will head into the game on the back of a morale-boosting 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford.

They have a five-match winning streak to preserve at the Amex Stadium on Sunday, but they’ll need to be on top form to come away with maximum points.

Predicted XI vs Brighton

Postecoglou is expected to ring the changes for this weekend’s Premier League showdown, with seven players set to return to the first team.

Guglielmo Vicario will retain his spot between the sticks with a familiar back four of Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Destiny Udogie ahead of him.

Dejan Kulusevski has been a different player since taking up the number eight role and will be looking to continue his fine form alongside Rodrigo Bentancur and James Maddison in the middle of the park.

Heung-min Son is out, so Timo Werner retains his place on the left flank, alongside Dominic Solanke and Johnson in attack.

Predicted XI: Vicario; Udogie, Van de Ven, Romero, Porro; Maddison, Bentancur, Kulusevski; Werner, Solanke, Johnson.
