Spurs face off against Bayern Munich in the second of their two pre-season fixtures against the German side.
Tottenham’s pre-season preparations are set to come to a close this weekend, as they gear up for the return of Premier League football.
The Lilywhites kick off their league campaign away to promoted Leicester City, before that though they must overcome Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich in the last of their pre-season fixtures.
Notching up four wins and one loss so far this summer, Spurs will be looking to round off pre-season on a high after succumbing to a 2-1 defeat against the German outfit last weekend.
So with that being said, this is the starting XI we predict Ange Postecoglou to pick for Tottenham’s friendly against Bayern Munich.
Destiny Udogie back from injury
A fan favourite since his Spurs arrival, Destiny Udogie’s debut Tottenham campaign could have arguably not gone any better.
One downside to the Italian’s season however was the injury he sustained in April which forced him to have surgery on his quadriceps.
Four months later though, the full-back is now back in Spurs training and is likely to feature against Bayern as he looks to get match-fit ahead of the Premier League season.
Cristian Romero may feature
Fresh from his Copa America success with Argentina, Cristian Romero returned to Hotspur Way this week following an extended break.
The Spurs stalwart played an integral role in his country’s continental success and will be looking to carry that fine form into the new season
It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Romero get some minutes this weekend, especially due to Tottenham’s current lack of centre-halves.
Dejan Kulusevski to continue in striker role
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has not been afraid to experiment during pre-season, shown by the Aussie’s decision to play young attacker Jamie Donley, in the unfamiliar role of left-back.
Postecoglou has also decided to play Dejan Kulusevski as a striker, which has surprised sections of the Spurs fanbase.
Scoring against the K-League XI, the Swede has looked comfortable in the number nine position and may continue in that role until Tottenham secure the services of a new striker.
Predicted XI v Bayern Munich
(4-3-3): Vicario, Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Spence, Maddison, Bissouma, Sarr, Johnson, Kulusevski, Son
