Predicted line-up of Tottenham Hotspur vs Galatasaray: Europa League

Predicted line-up of Tottenham Hotspur vs Galatasaray: Europa League

Tottenham Hotspur will look to win their fourth straight Europa League game when they take on Galatasaray at RAMS Park in Istanbul, Turkey.

Ange Postecoglou's team are coming off a 4-1 win over Aston Villa in the Premier League. Despite a 1-0 defeat in the first half, Tottenham fought back and secured a comfortable victory in the end. Dominic Solanke scored a brace while Brennan Johnson scored his seventh goal of the season in all competitions.

Spurs are one of the three remaining teams in the Europa League phase, alongside Lazio and RSC Anderlecht, who have won their first three games. Tottenham picked up victories over Qarabağ FK, Ferencváros and AZ Alkmaar to climb to second place in the table, but face the difficult task of defeating a strong Galatasaray side in what is expected to be a hostile environment.

Postecoglou will be without key players such as Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Richarlison due to injuries ahead of the November international break.

Spurs could face Galatasaray in the Europa League.

GK: Fraser Forster—Postecoglou could try to give Guglielmo Vicario a break as Tottenham have already picked up nine points and are on course to qualify for the knockout rounds.

RB: Archie Grey– The former Leeds United player plays at right-back in place of Pedro Porro and is looking to impress on the right side of the backline.

CB: Radu Drăgușin—The Romanian international starts for the second time in a row, with both Romero and van de Ven out due to injury.

CB: Ben Davies—Davies has become accustomed to playing as a left centre-back and should fill in alongside Drăgușin in the next few games.

LB: Destiny Udogie—While Postecoglou would probably prefer to rest Udogie, the current injuries to his squad mean the young full-back will start in defense again.

CM: Yves Bissouma– The experienced midfielder takes on the deeper role, sitting directly in front of the defensive line and providing cover, while Maddison and Bergvall drive up the pitch to assist in attacks.

CM: James Maddison– Maddison wants to recreate the stunning free-kick he scored against Aston Villa to take Spurs to three points.

CM: Lucas Bergvall—The 18-year-old is making his fourth start of the season, which should give him valuable experience playing in difficult environments away from home.

RW: Mikey Moore—The talented young player will be keen to prove himself once again on the wing and operate from the jump on the right side instead of the left side.

ST: Will Lankshear– With Richarlison out for the next few weeks and Solanke playing the full 90 minutes at the weekend, 19-year-old Will Lankshear is expected to be at the helm for the second time this season.

LW: Son Heung-min– The Tottenham captain played just 56 minutes against Aston Villa and should be firmly anchored for the start of the midweek competition.
