Tottenham predicted team vs Wolves as Postecoglou makes Hojbjerg, Phillips and Lo Celso decision
Here's the Tottenham Hotspur team we reckon Ange Postecoglou will select for the early Premier League kick-off at Wolverhampton Wanderers
Ange Postecoglou must pick a Tottenham Hotspur team to face Wolves amid the fallout from the Chelsea defeat which has since seen five players become unavailable.
The Spurs boss confirmed on Friday that Micky van de Ven's hamstring injury will keep him out of action until the New Year, as will key midfielder James Maddison's ankle problem. In defence, Postecoglou also has Cristian Romero suspended for three games and Destiny Udogie will be unavailable for Saturday's match at Wolves after he also picked up a red card in that costly defeat to Mauricio Pochettino's side.
Then there is Richarlison who underwent groin surgery this week to fix a long-standing issue with his pubic bone and the Brazilian attacker is expected to return to training in around a month's time.
Postecoglou must now decide at the back between the available again left-back Ben Davies and 18-year-old summer signing Ashley Phillips as a central defensive partner for Eric Dier. The Australian must also make a call on who replaces James Maddison on the left of the trio in midfield, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Giovani Lo Celso, Rodrigo Bentancur and Oliver Skipp all hoping to start.
Here's the Tottenham team we reckon the head coach will select for the match at Molineux.
Guglielmo Vicario - Goalkeeper
Pedro Porro - Right-back
Eric Dier - Centre-back
Ben Davies - Centre-back
Emerson Royal - Left-back
