Tottenham should welcome back James Maddison into the starting XI tonight

Tottenham Hotspur is highly likely to end another season without a trophy despite finding a great man to lead them. The FA Cup exit last week means, The Lilywhites will have only the Premier League to focus on. As they should, with all their might.

Ange Postecoglou and Co. will be hosting Brentford tonight. With many a handful of players back from the injury and some missing out due to national duties, let us take a look at the probably starting XI that the manager might deploy against The Bees.

The back five will remain the same for the Spurs gaffer. The North Londoners are most likely to go with the same XI that went against City in the FA Cup. The only change could be welcoming back James Maddison while scarificing Brennan Johnson.

Dejan Kulusevski stepped up for his manager during the absence of his first preferences and so did Rodrigo Bentancur. Hojbjerg is not leaving the club as he rejected a move from Lyon just days ago. Werner has found his place under the new manager and Richarlison will be expected to continue his form.

Last-ditch efforts for Tottenham

Another season, another trophy-less run for the Lilywhites. They are fifth in the EPL table as of now, eight points behind the league leaders. While EPL is an unpredictable stage, the realistic goal for Spurs will be to not gun for the title but a place in the top four.

Nearly three and a half months of football action is left for the North London club to salvage their situation. Despite being linked to several players, they have had a quiet transfer window this term.

A win against Brentford is important not just to climb up the ladder but also to boost the players’ morale. It will also be a sign that Ange Postecoglou’s new tactics are working.
