The Premier League 2024/25 season is set to kick-off this weekend but Tottenham Hotspur fans will have to wait a while as their side is the last team to take to the field this game week with Leicester City on the horizon.

Ange Postecoglou’s men play on Monday against the Foxed and will be hoping to get off to a winning start. The pre-season preparations were quite good for Spurs who managed to win most of their games with the exception of the Bayern Munich ones.

It’s an important game for Tottenham to set the tone right for a season from which their fans expect a lot of progress. So, how could Ange Postecoglou set his team up for this very important Leicester game?

For starters, there is no suspense with regards to what formation Postecoglou will use just like there is no suspense with regards to whole will start in goal. Guglielmo Vicario will start between the posts in the gaffer’s preferred 4-2-3-1 formation.

In front of the Italian shot-stopper is going to be a back-four comprising of Pedro Porro on the right, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven in the middle and Destiny Udogie on the left. Should Udogie be unable to start yet, one could expect Van de Ven to move to the left with Dragusin coming in or even for Spence to start on the left.

Yves Bissouma is set to miss out on the Leicester game due to a disciplinary issue setting the stage up for Pape Matar Sarr and Rodrigo Bentancur to start in midfield. Don’t count it past Ange though to start Archie Gray instead of the Uruguayan following his impressive pre-season. We think that’s the way the coach will go.

James Maddison is nailed in for the #10 role just like captain Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski are set to start from the left and right, respectively. We think new signing Dominic Solanke is going to get thrown straight into the deep end against the Foxes.\

Should Gray not start the game, he is almost certain to get minutes off the bench. Same with Solanke although the latter should start this game. Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner will get a run out too.

It’s important to set a tone in the very first game with a solid performance and let’s hope Tottenham can get past newly promoted Leicester and get off the mark for the season.
