Will Thomas Frank reshuffle his midfield? Predicting Tottenham lineup vs PSG – Opinion

While Tottenham conceded four goals against the Gunners at the weekend, Vicario still managed to have a strong performance, with his reflexes saving the visitors a few times. But he needs to have a better game with the ball at his feet. The 29-year-old who apologised to the Lilywhites supporters after the Arsenal game put in a lot of blind long balls at the Emirates Stadium, and he needs to avoid doing the same this midweek.

Defence: Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie

Tottenham will switch into a back four again. Kevin Danso will drop out of the eleven to aid that backline shuffle.

While Djed Spence had a strong performance at the weekend compared to his teammates, Porro comes into the eleven once again. The Spaniard has that quality on the ball and the experience to take the pressure that this Wednesday presents, which gives him the nod.

While Romero will miss next weekend’s game against Fulham given his bookings accumulated into a suspension, the Argentine will be at the heart of Spurs’ defence alongside his partner in crime, Van de Ven.

And at the left back, Udogie keeps his place. He was left a bit exposed against Bukayo Saka against Arsenal, and he will have to be better in those defensive moments against PSG.

Midfielders: Palhinha, Sarr, Simons

Bentancur had quite an underwhelming performance against the Gunners, and he is expected to drop out of the starting eleven with Sarr taking his place. Palhinha will keep his place at the base of the midfield, though. Sarr will be expected to play more of a box-to-box role this midweek, while Palhinha would be more of a primary ball winner at the base of the midfield (much like he did against Arsenal but hopefully with more poise).

Simons struggled at the Emirates after coming off the bench, but he will take up that role to get the ball into offensive zones given that Bentancur will not be in the second phase.

Forward: Kudus, Muani, Odobert

While Richarlison did score that wonder goal against Arsenal, his overall performance was nowhere near what warrants a start against PSG in the midweek. And someone who knows that Paris roster in and out will take his place as Randal Kolo Muani finds his place upfront for the North Londoners.

Mohammed Kudus and Wilson Odobert are expected to keep their place in the eleven, given both of them have been in strong form lately.

Predicting Tottenham’s lineup vs PSG (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Palhinha, Sarr, Simons; Kudus, Muani, Odobert
