Tottenham will be aiming for their fifth consecutive victory in all competitions as they face Ferencvaros in their second Europa League match on Thursday. After suffering back-to-back defeats before the international break, manager Ange Postecoglou’s position at the club was under scrutiny. However, Spurs have responded with impressive performances and results, with their win against Manchester United being considered one of the highlights of Postecoglou’s tenure so far.
The Europa League is seen as a competition that Tottenham should have high hopes of winning. They are favored by bookmakers and will benefit from UEFA’s format change, which means no Champions League teams will drop into the tournament.
Next up for Tottenham is a trip to Eastern Europe, where they will face a confident Ferencvaros squad. Here is the potential lineup that Postecoglou could choose for Thursday’s match:
– Goalkeeper: Guglielmo Vicario – Vicario played a crucial role in Tottenham’s win over Qarabag last week and is expected to feature prominently in this competition.
– Right-back: Archie Gray – The teenager impressed in the previous matchday and will return to the starting lineup.
– Center-backs: Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven – Romero was suspended last time but is eligible to play now, replacing Radu Dragusin who received a red card against Qarabag.
– Left-back: Ben Davies – With Djed Spence excluded from the Europa League squad due to injury, Davies is likely to start and may even captain the team.
– Midfielders: Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr, Lucas Bergvall – Bissouma faces tough competition for his place but will be eager to impress. Sarr’s energy proved vital in previous matches while Bergvall seeks redemption after Dragusin spoiled his night last week.
– Right winger: Brennan Johnson – Johnson has been on fire lately with four consecutive goals and could earn another start on Thursday.
– Striker: Dominic Solanke – Solanke has been in excellent form since returning from injury and remains Tottenham’s main attacking threat.
– Left winger: Mikey Moore – The highly anticipated young talent could make his first competitive start for Spurs against Ferencvaros.
This lineup showcases Tottenham’s depth and potential as they aim for another victory in Europe.
