Tottenham lineup vs. Man City: Predicted lineup for Premier League clash as Ange Postecoglou makes three changes

Tel dropped, four changes: How Spurs could line up against Man City

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou could make a handful of alterations to his starting XI for Wednesday's Premier League showdown with Manchester City.

The Lilywhites made it three wins on the bounce in the top division with a 4-1 crushing of Ipswich Town over the weekend, where only seven players were missing through injury compared to 11 or 12 in previous fixtures over the winter.

One of the septet - Timo Werner - might be back from his hamstring concern this week, but Ben Davies (load management), Radu Dragusin (ACL), Dominic Solanke (knee), Richarlison (calf), Cristian Romero (thigh) and Micky van de Ven (thigh) are still out.

While Davies is not carrying an actual 'injury', Postecoglou has confirmed that he will not make the cut here, so there will be no respite for either Archie Gray or Kevin Danso.

However, Pedro Porro can expect a recall to the rearguard, most likely in place of Destiny Udogie given Djed Spence's stellar form in recent weeks, which he continued with a goal in Saturday's emphatic triumph.

Further forward, fresh legs could arrive in midfield in the shape of James Maddison and Pape Sarr, as Postecoglou pushes Dejan Kulusevski into a more familiar right-wing position, potentially at Mathys Tel's expense.

The Bayern Munich loanee could not directly contribute to the win at Ipswich, where Brennan Johnson scored twice from a pair of Son Heung-min assists, and the former could now start as the attacking focal point as Son and Kulusevski flank him.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Vicario; Porro, Gray, Danso, Spence; Maddison, Bentancur, Sarr; Kulusevski, Johnson, Son
