Tottenham travel to Crystal Palace on Saturday aiming to keep up their 100% start to the new Premier League season.
With fresh injury concerns after a difficult international break, Nuno Espirito Santo has a number of decisions to make regarding his team selection.
The Spurs boss was asked about the fitness of several players during his press conference on Friday – he appeared to rule out Son Heung-min (calf) and cast doubt on the availability of Oliver Skipp, Steven Bergwijn and Ryan Sessegnon.
However, a video of the players training on Friday showed Skipp performing drills with his teammates, so we think the midfielder will keep his place alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Dele Alli.
Tanguy Ndombele is also in contention but it is perhaps too soon for him to start, so the Frenchman should be on the bench.
If Bergwijn and Son are definitely out, Bryan Gil is likely to make his first Premier League start, accompanying Lucas Moura and Harry Kane in the front three.
Giovani Lo Celso, Cristian Romero and Davinson Sanchez are all training in Croatia after the South American chaos last week, which means Eric Dier will need a new partner at centre-back.
That will probably be Joe Rodon, with Japhet Tanganga retaining his spot at right-back for now – deadline day arrival Emerson Royal might need to wait for his debut.
Hugo Lloris and Sergio Reguilon will also start. Here’s our predicted XI to face Palace – what’s yours? Let us know in the comments section below.
Wow. Just my exact line up prediction.
I WOULD INCLUDE TANGUY IN THE SECOND HALF INSTEAD OF SKIPP. TAKING INTO MIND HOW MANY GAMES WE HAVE IN THE NEXT MONTH.
Kane wasn’t training in the video; unsure about him starting.
