Tottenham predicted XI v Crystal Palace as Mikey Moore decision made and 'unbelievable' £100k-a-week ace drops out

Tottenham Hotspur will hope to make it three wins in a row in their Premier League trip to Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Spurs bounced back after the international break with a 4-1 hammering of West Ham before running out 1-0 winners over AZ in the Europa League.

Tottenham will be up against a Palace side currently languishing in the bottom three and without a league win to their name this season.

The Spurs News looks at who Ange Postecoglou could pick in his starting XI for the trip to Selhurst Park.

Tottenham team news v Crystal Palace

Spurs are likely to be without captain Son Heung-min for the game as he felt soreness after the win over West Ham last week.

“Sonny’s still not right, still not feeling 100 percent,” Postecoglou told the Tottenham media team on Friday.

“He won’t train today, so he’s unlikely for this weekend and we’ll see after that.”

Meanwhile, Djed Spence is still recovering from a groin issue, but is expected to return to training next week.

Postecoglou is expected to revert to his big guns after making wholesale changes for Thursday’s Europa League win over AZ.

Guglielmo Vicario is all-but set to replace Fraser Forster in goal, and we predict only one defender will keep his place from midweek.

Destiny Udogie is likely to stay put in the back line, while Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Pedro Porro are expected to return.

As for the midfield, this pretty much picks itself too, though we predict Postecoglou will rest Rodrigo Bentancur and name Yves Bissouma in midfield.

The ‘unbelievable‘ £100,000-a-week Uruguayan delivered an impressive display against AZ, but the Spurs boss won’t want to over-exert him.

Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison are also likely to start in midfield, with Lucas Bergvall the man to make way in the middle three.

Postecoglou then has a decision to make with regards to Mikey Moore, who dazzled against AZ and is an option to replace Son.

However, we feel the Spurs boss will be pragmatic and start Timo Werner instead, giving him a chance to prove himself after his midweek struggles.

We feel Moore will be brought on in the second half and be let loose against a tiring Palace back line.

Finally, Dominic Solanke is likely to replace Richarlison in leading the line, with Brennan Johnson deployed on the right.
