How Tottenham Hotspur could line up against Fulham

How Tottenham Hotspur could line up against Fulham

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou will ring the changes for his side's trip to Fulham in the second round of the EFL Cup on Tuesday night.

Spurs will still be missing Tanguy Ndombele, Alfie Whiteman, Bryan Gil, Ryan Sessegnon and Rodrigo Bentancur for the all-Premier League clash due to injury.

Meanwhile, Destiny Udogie picked up a knock during Saturday's 2-0 victory over Bournemouth and is unlikely to be risked for this match.

Fraser Forster is set to get the nod between the sticks, while Emerson Royal, Ben Davies and Davinson Sanchez are likely to come into the back four for the clash at Craven Cottage.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Giovani Lo Celso are in line for midfield starts despite the speculation surrounding their futures, while Oliver Skipp should also start in the middle.

Postecoglou will be looking to build Richarlison's confidence in front of goal, so the Brazilian should start again.

However, there could be two changes to the attack, with Ivan Perisic and Manor Solomon in line for starting roles in the EFL Cup clash.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Forster; Emerson, Sanchez, Van de Ven, Davies; Hojbjerg, Skipp, Lo Celso; Perisic, Richarlison, Solomon
