Tottenham predicted team vs Brentford - Yves Bissouma decision made with Mikey Moore call
Here's the Spurs team that we reckon Ange Postecoglou will select as Brentford come to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday
Ange Postecoglou needs a positive performance from his Tottenham team as they welcome Brentford on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League.
Spurs scraped past Championship side Coventry on Wednesday night in the Carabao Cup thanks to last-gasp goals from Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson. That came after back-to-back defeats in the Premier League against Newcastle United and Arsenal despite dominating much of the play.
Now Postecoglou must navigate a game against Brentford who will provide tough opposition after tight games against Manchester City and Liverpool away this season and home wins against Crystal Palace and Southampton. The Tottenham head coach rested eight players from his starting line-up so should at least have some fresh faces.
The Australian has Yves Bissouma back in training following his groin injury and Postecoglou told football.london on Friday: "He trained today. He trained fully. It is his first session so we’ll just have to see how he pulls up, but if he’s available, he’s available."
The Tottenham boss must decide whether to bring in the Mali international or make Rodrigo Bentancur start three games in six days in the centre of the midfield.
Postecoglou has lost Wilson Odobert to a hamstring injury that will keep him out for a while, but has Timo Werner fit despite the German going off injured on Wednesday night. His availability could leave Postecoglou with a decision over whether 17-year-old Mikey Moore gets a spot on the bench following Werner's poor performance at Coventry.
Here's the Tottenham team that we reckon Postecoglou could go for:
Goalkeeper - Guglielmo Vicario
The Italian got a night off on Wednesday so should be mentally fresh for this game.

Also rested in midweek, although he was on the bench, and Spurs will need his energy at both ends.

The Argentine will be keen to make up for losing his man for Gabriel's winner last weekend.

Both he and Romero were left at home for the Carabao Cup game at Coventry so should be raring to go.

The young Italian got a pre-planned 45 minutes on Wednesday night to continue to make up for his lack of pre-season.
