Tottenham Hotspur will hope to go into the November international break on a winning note as they host Ipswich Town .

Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs welcome Kieran McKenna’s Blues in Sunday’s 2pm Premier League kick-off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham’s season remains full of ups and downs as they hammered Aston Villa 4-1 in their last league game but lost 3-2 at Galatasaray in the Europa League in midweek.

Meanwhile, Ipswich have struggled to get to grips with life in the Premier League, and are yet to get a win on board in the top flight.

The Spurs News looks at who Ange Postecoglou could name in his starting XI for Sunday’s game at N17.

Tottenham team news v Ipswich

Ange Postecoglou confirmed at his pre-match press conference that Cristian Romero “could be back” against Ipswich in wake of his foot injury.

However, Tottenham will be without Richarlison, Micky van de Ven and Wilson Odobert due to hamstring injuries.

Meanwhile, Timo Werner is expected to miss Sunday’s game with a groin problem, while Mikey Moore is ill and the game may come too soon for him.

James Maddison tipped to drop out as Radu Dragusin retains spot

Guglielmo Vicario is expected to replace Fraser Forster in goal, while the defence could see several changes.

Radu Dragusin is likely to retain his place from the Galatasaray starting XI, despite struggling in Istanbul.

Pedro Porro could also start once again, with Djed Spence remaining a doubt due to a groin issue.

Meanwhile, Archie Gray and Ben Davies could be replaced by Destiny Udogie and Romero if he recovers in time.

Postecoglou is likely to overhaul his midfield on Sunday, with all three players potentially being replaced.

James Maddison, Yves Bissouma and Lucas Bergvall could all drop out of the XI.

In their place, Rodrigo Bentancur, Dejan Kulusevski and Pape Matar Sarr could come in.

Sarr in particular is staking a real claim for a regular starting spot ahead of the £165,000-a-week England international.

As for the front line, only one change is likely, with Dominic Solanke coming back for Will Lankshear.

Spurs predicted XI (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Udogie; Bentancur, Kulusevski, Sarr; Johnson, Son, Solanke
