Tottenham Hotspur are expected to ring the changes this weekend as they prepare to play their final Premier League game this season. Let’s take a look at our predicted Tottenham XI to face Brighton on Sunday.
Tottenham Hotspur are set to take to the field one last time this season in the Premier League when they take on Brighton & Hove Albion at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs will take to the field as European champions, following their 1-0 win against Manchester United in the Europa League final at the San Mames Stadium.
The Lilywhites have also now secured a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League, making Sunday’s clash nothing but a dead rubber.
Here’s our Tottenham predicted XI to face Brighton in the Premier League:
Predicted Tottenham line-up vs Brighton in final Premier League match of the 2024/25 season
Goalkeeper – Guglielmo Vicario: Following his mixed final performance that was both heroic and chaotic, we expect Ange Postecoglou to opt for the Italian one last time this season.
Right-back – Pedro Porro: There is a case for Archie Gray featuring down on the right on Sunday, which would be interesting to see, but we believe Porro will get the nod against Brighton.
MORE SPURS STORIES
Centre-back – Cristian Romero: The Europa League man of the match for the final and the Europa player of the season should line up at the back for Tottenham on Sunday, in what could be his final game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Lilywhite of Tottenham, that is, if he departs this summer.
Centre-back – Ben Davies: Micky van de Ven was the one who ensured Spurs’ lead was intact when he cleared off the line in acrobatic fashion from Hojlund’s header. But we suspect he could sit Sunday out, with Ben Davies, whose contract expires this summer, perhaps playing for the last time in N17.
Left-back – Djed Spence: Destiny Udogie left his heart on the pitch on Wednesday night and could be benched this weekend, with Spurs starting Premier League defender Djed Spence expected to return.
Pivot-midfielder – Archie Gray: Postecoglou has not been shy to play Gray in midfield of late and with nothing on the line, we expect he could get a go once more, perhaps in preparation for next season.
Centre-midfielder – Rodrigo Bentancur: Spurs’ midfield options are very limited given their injury crisis, which means Bentancur could be back in the middle of the park.
Centre-midfielder – Wilson Odobert: The young French winger did not feature in the final, although it was thought he would be the one Postecoglou would have opted for. He could return in that dynamic number ten role.
Right-midfielder – Mikey Moore: The Spurs youngster should return to the starting XI after he featured last against Aston Villa in matchday 37, leaving Tottenham’s top scorer, Brennan Johnson, on the bench.
Striker – Mathys Tel: Dominic Solanke and Richarlison both featured in the final, and with Solanke playing the entire ninety minutes, we could see Tel lead the line on Sunday.
