Ben Davies was brought in for Eric Dier in defence, while Pierre Emile Hojbjerg was in for Rodrigo Bentancur in midfield. The formation remains 3-5-2, with the emphasis on Emerson Royal and Ryan Sessegnon bombing down each wing.<\/p>\n<p>There was some joy eventually for Sessegnon, who was picked out with an eagle-eyed pass from Hojbjerg to squeeze the ball home from a tight angle to turn the tide against Bournemouth.<\/p>\n<p>Son Heung-Min is starting to gather form again, linking up well with <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/03\/08\/harry-kane-son-heung-min-record-breakers-compare\/\" target=\"_self\">Harry Kane in attack<\/a>. But Spurs now have goalscorers all over the field, with the added threat of set pieces growing stronger with deliveries from Ivan Perisic and Hojbjerg advancing up the field.<\/p>\n<h3>Tottenham&#8217;s Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n<p>Spurs have begun their recovery from a recent poor period of form. Successive losses against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/newcastle-united\/\" target=\"_self\">Newcastle United<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/manchester-united\/\" target=\"_self\">Manchester United<\/a> have frustrated fans. But one moment sent them into real fury. It was in a moment where Tottenham thought they had snatched three vital points against Sporting in the Champions League, only for VAR to take four minutes to agonise over an offside decision. The goal was chalked off. It must have felt like a loss for the players.<\/p>\n<p>Tactically, Spurs are still reliant on their wingbacks to get up the pitch to begin attacks. As part of this, Conte&#8217;s side like to play on the counter, exploiting the pace of Son and Sessegnon. Sometimes this means Spurs only create a few golden chances in a game, especially against tougher opposition. It will be interesting to see how the Lilywhites attack the Marseille game, considering they will be playing away from home in a hostile atmosphere.<\/p>\n<h3>Tottenham Injuries to Consider<\/h3>\n<p>Dejan Kulusevski seems to be making a good recovery for Tottenham. He was spotted going through the paces at Bournemouth.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">At Bournemouth <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/thfc?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#thfc<\/a>. Kulusevski doing a pretty intense fitness session here. Has done about 30 lengths of the half-pitch now, with maybe 10 secs rest in between. He looks alright. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Hbp8xxtz03\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/Hbp8xxtz03<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tom Allnutt (@TomAllnutt_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TomAllnutt_\/status\/1586347927324483585?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">October 29, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>While it is good to see Kulusevski starting active steps to recover from his injury, he has been ruled out for the Marseille clash. The Swedish winger has been an important player for Spurs, who look so much stronger with his creativity and attacking drive from the flanks.<\/p>\n<p>Richarlison remains sidelined, while Cristian Romero is also out.<\/p>\n<h3>Tottenham Hotspur Lineup Prediction<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Hugo Lloris<\/li>\n<li>Matt Doherty<\/li>\n<li>Eric Dier<\/li>\n<li>Clement Lenglet<\/li>\n<li>Ben Davies<\/li>\n<li>Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg<\/li>\n<li>Ryan Sessegnon<\/li>\n<li>Ivan Perisic<\/li>\n<li>Oliver Skipp<\/li>\n<li>Harry Kane<\/li>\n<li>Son Heung-Min<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Current Odds: Tottenham Hotspur vs Marseille<\/h3>\n<div>At time of writing, Sky Bet favour Marseille to win 9\/5, with Tottenham coming in at 6\/5, with a draw at 5\/2.
