AliousTottenham Hotspur aims to break their four-match losing streak by securing a win against Burnley at their home ground in North London this coming weekend.
Under the helm of manager Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham will attempt to alleviate the mounting pressure as they face a Burnley team at risk of relegation.
The Spurs’ game preparations have been disrupted by the news that forward Richarlison, who scored and provided an assist against Liverpool last weekend, has sustained an injury.
This has led to his exclusion from Brazil’s Copa America squad.
Brazil’s coach Dorival Jr., upon omitting the Tottenham striker, stated: “Richarlison is dealing with a calf injury. The club has not made an official announcement, but after reaching out to the player, he confirmed the injury to us.”
Postecoglou is now faced with a tactical decision: whether to continue with the struggling Emerson Royal as left-back or to introduce midfielder Oliver Skipp, who has been diligently training throughout the week.
A loss at home would intensify scrutiny on Postecoglou, whereas a victory could essentially relegate Burnley and maintain Tottenham’s pursuit of a Champions League spot for the upcoming season.
Several Tottenham players might be contending for their positions in the team during the season’s concluding matches, prompting an expected response following a series of disappointing performances that have jeopardized the season’s advancements.
Chelsea, currently in seventh place and having secured two wins in their last three matches, appears formidable.
Meanwhile, Newcastle, in sixth place, still has the potential to climb to fifth if they win their remaining fixtures and Tottenham falters.
Considering these factors, the following is the lineup that is predicted for Ange Postecoglou’s team selection for the upcoming match.
