Ange Postecoglou planning Spurs changes for Premier League return after vital victory in Frankfurt
Dejan Kulusevski, Kevin Danso and Richarlison are all pushing to start for Tottenham against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Monday night.
The trio have returned to the squad after injury in recent weeks and Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou has said he will make "five or six" changes to his XI from Thursday's seismic win against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League.
Kulusevski is likely to replace James Maddison at No10, with the England international a doubt with soreness after being forced off in Germany following a clattering by goalkeeper Kaua Santos, while Richarlison could start up front, giving Dominic Solanke a rest.
Danso played the final five minutes in Germany and the Austrian is pushing to come into the backline, which could also feature Archie Gray and Djed Spence at full-back.
Cristian Romero is due a rest, with Ben Davies or Micky van de Ven options to fill in at centre-back.
Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma are pushing for starts in midfield, although Lucas Bergvall may be fresh enough to keep his place.
Postecoglou has been managing Wilson Odobert's minutes of late and Heung-min Son (foot) remains sidelined, so Mathys Tel and Brennan Johnson may stay in the XI.
Mikey Moore and Timo Werner are among Postecoglou's other options in attack. Radu Dragusin (knee) is currently Spurs' only long-term absentee.
Predicted Tottenham XI (4-3-3): Vicario; Gray, Danso, Van de Ven, Spence; Bergvall, Sarr, Kulusevski; Johnson, Tel, Richarlison
Injured: Son, Dragusin
Doubt: Maddison
Time and date: 8pm BST on Monday April 21, 2025
