This is a Tottenham predicted lineup for the Europa League final with Manchester United. With both clubs sitting near the bottom of the Premier League this is a fascinating lifeline for the winner. Victory in this competition would guarantee them Champions League football in the next campaign despite their poor league finishes, for that reason both managers and squads are expected to go all out to get the win here. In addition, this would be a rare major trophy win for the Lilywhites, which would reward their fans for their patience.<\/p>\n

Tottenham Predicted Lineup vs Manchester United in Europa League Final<\/h2>\n

How Tottenham Have Lined Up Recently<\/h3>\n

In an attempt to keep his strongest eleven fresh Ange Postecoglou has rotated pretty generously when allowed. Guglielmo Vicario has regularly started in goal but even he was rested on Friday in favour of Antonin Kinsky. Djed Spence, Kavin Danso, Ben Davies, Sergio Reguilon, and Archie Gray have been the cavalry in defence for the first-choice back four of Cristian Romero, Micky Van de Ven, Destiny Udogie, and Pedro Porro.<\/p>\n

Pape Sarr, Gray, Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentacur, and Dejan Kulusevski have been part of the midfield three in the absence of James Maddison. Attacking wise, Mikey Moore, Heung-min Son, Wilson Odobert, Richarlison, Dominick Solanke<\/a>, Mathys Tel, and Brennan Johnson have started up front.<\/p>\n

Tottenham Recent Form & Tactics<\/h3>\n

The usual setup is a 4-3-3 but in the absence of starting central midfielders Postecoglou used an unfamiliar 4-2-3-1 against Aston Villa just to avoid overusing his best midfielders. When in the 4-3-3, the idea is to press high and squeeze the pitch to win the ball back in dangerous areas and overwhelm opposing defences.<\/p>\n

Results have been very bad. The Lilywhites domestically are one of the worst teams in the Premier League, they find it difficult to score and even more difficult to keep goals out of their own net, shipping five to Liverpool, two to Crystal Palace, and two to the Villans. They’ve managed to get results in the Europa League but they managed to look far from convincing despite a weaker draw.<\/p>\n

Tottenham Injuries to Consider<\/h3>\n

The confirmed travelling squad<\/a> gives us an insight into who is fit and who’s not. Kulusevski, Radu Dragusin, Lucas Bergvall, and Timo Werner are all injured and have not travelled. Despite missing our recently both Maddison and Dane Scarlett have travelled and could play some part.<\/p>\n
