Tottenham aims to improve their performance against Everton on Saturday after drawing their season opener against Leicester City.
Despite dominating the game and creating numerous chances, Spurs couldn’t secure a win, reminiscent of last season’s struggles to convert opportunities into points.
Manager Ange Postecoglou has several options for potential lineup changes:
1. Djed Spence might replace Pedro Porro if the latter’s ankle injury from the Leicester game proves serious.
2. Rodrigo Bentancur will likely miss the match due to concussion protocol following a collision against Leicester. Archie Gray, who impressed in pre-season, could make his Premier League debut in Bentancur’s place. Alternatively, Yves Bissouma might return to the team after serving a suspension for his social media mishap.
3. Dejan Kulusevski could start in place of Brennan Johnson on the right wing. Kulusevski’s exclusion from the starting lineup against Leicester was surprising given his strong pre-season form.
His technical skills and vision were missed in the final third, and he might be favored over Johnson, who struggled to make an impact against Leicester.
These potential changes reflect Postecoglou’s options as he seeks to optimize the team’s performance and secure a win against Everton.
