Tottenham Hotspur will look to turn a corner as they face Sunderland on matchday 20 at 15:00 local time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
If results don’t go their way in the initial few weeks of the year, Thomas Frank’s job could come under serious scrutiny and with the Dane potentially fighting for survival too, he is expected put out his best team out in his next game.
Here is how the Lilywhites might line-up for the clash.
Goalkeeper – Guglielmo Vicario is expected to feature in between the sticks.
Defenders – Pedro Porro and Djed Spence played decently against Brentford and might keep their places at right and left back, respectively, as could Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven to round off an unchanged defence.
Kolo Muani starts
Midfielders – Joao Palhinha and Rodrigo Bentancur were back together in the double pivot for Tottenham Hotspur in the last match, and are likely to continue playing together once more with Pape Mata Sarr away for AFCON duty.
Archie Gray might keep his place in the team as well as their number 10 owing to Xavi Simons’ suspension.
Mohammed Kudus could feature on the right wing too, and the home side’s only change could see them switching Wilson Odobert in favour of Randal Kolo Muani on the left wing for Spurs.
Forward – Richarlison is set to lead the line for Tottenham again.
Here is how the Lilywhites might look on paper.
