Pochettino To Make 1 Change – Strongest 4-2-3-1 Tottenham Lineup To Face Brighton

Predicted Tottenham Line-up To Face Brighton In The Premier League

Tottenham Hotspur will face Brighton in a mid-week Premier League clash, days after decimating Stoke City. The win will come as a major boost of confidence for Mauricio Pochettino and his men, especially after a string of disappointing performances. Moreover, Brighton may be a newly-promoted side but they are more than capable of causing an upset and that is something Spurs cannot afford right now.

Team News

Pochettino still has to deal with the absence of some key players. Toby Alderweireld and Victor Wanyama continue to be sidelined while Davinson Sanchez is serving a suspension after receiving a red card in the game against Watford.

Possible Tottenham Hotspur XI To Face Brighton

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Manager: Mauricio Pochettino

Hugo Lloris (GK)

Lloris continues to be the main man in goal for Spurs and has been quite effective at helping Spurs win games, making it likely for Pochettino to deploy him once again.

Serge Aurier (RB)

Trippier played against Stoke and proved to be quite effective but Pochettino could hand Aurier a start against Brighton since his dominance has been vital for Spurs in maintaining a strong defence in previous matches.

Eric Dier (CB)

Dier looked quite solid alongside Jan Vertonghen as a part of the back four and proved to be defensively sound against Stoke which should see him essay the same role against Brighton.

Jan Vertonghen (CB)

The player cemented quite an interesting partnership with Dier and it will be interesting to see what the duo is capable of doing.

Ben Davies (LB)

Davies was spectacular against Stoke. He did his defensive duties impressively and made an impact on the attack as well. Although Pochettino could also start Rose, Davies seems to be in better form.

Harry Winks (CM)

Winks’ influence remains unparalleled for Spurs and that was more than evident against Stoke. He kept things going and made every necessary move to dominate the midfield. He will be important in every game going forward.

Mousa Dembele (CM)

Dembele’s performance was elevated due to Winks’ brilliance and the duo established a strong partnership – a factor that can help them against Brighton.

Dele Alli (CAM)

Alli’s been in remarkable form over the last couple of games and his influence on their attack will be crucial in creating chances.

Christian Eriksen (RW)

Eriksen remains crucial to Tottenham’s build-up play and it is likely that Pochettino could include his name in the starting lineup.

Son Heung-Min (LW)

The player was spectacular against Stoke. There is simply no other way to put it – the way he’s been improving has been truly brilliant and Pochettino should start him to ensure he continues his form.

Harry Kane (CF)

There seems to be no end to Harry Kane’s wonders up front. An injury did leave him unsettled for a while but he seems to be back now and things will be tough for Brighton.

Here’s how Spurs might line up:
