Journalist backs Postecoglou to make three Spurs changes against Everton

Football.London’s Rob Guest has predicted that Ange Postecoglou could make three changes to the starting eleven against Everton on Saturday, with two of them potentially being forced.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton

There was a lot to be encouraged by from Tottenham’s performance against Leicester City on Monday, with the Lilywhites hardly giving the home side a kick in the first half.

However, Postecoglou would have been disappointed by the lack of cutting-edge in the final third and by the fact that his side were cut open quite easily on a few occasions in the second half after surrendering possession up the field.

The Australian will want to see a response from his players this Saturday as they take to the field for their first home game of the season.

Three changes for Tottenham?

Guest has revealed via Football.London one of Yves Bissouma or Archie Gray will come into the starting eleven against Everton as Rodrigo Bentancur will miss the game due to the Premier League’s concussion protocol.

He suggested that Djed Spence might also be handed a start if Pedro Porro does not recover in time after coming off with an injury in the dying stages of the clash on Monday.

Finally, the journalist added that Postecoglou might also opt to start Dejan Kulusevski on the right over Brennan Johnson after the Wales international struggled against the Foxes.

I expect Bissouma to come into the team in place of Bentancur but it will be interesting to see who Postecoglou goes for between Spence and Gray in case Porro is not passed fit.

One would also expect Kulusevski to come back into the eleven after the Swede’s surprise omission on Monday.
