Tottenham Hotspur will lock horns with Marseille at Orange Velodrome on Tuesday night, hoping to pick up all three points away from home. The visitors will be coming into the match on the back of a narrow 3-2 victory over Bournemouth, whereas the hosts recorded a 2-2 draw with Strasbourg.
Antonio Conte will probably opt for the 4-3-3 formation in midweek; however, he might make a couple of changes for the upcoming clash as Eric Dier look likely to make his way back into starting eleven.
3-4-3 Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup Vs Marseille
Defence
Hugo Lloris will operate between the sticks for the upcoming fixture. The France shot-stopper would hope to put up a strong performance and secure a clean sheet on Tuesday.
Cristian Romero will form the centre-half partnership with Eric Dier, and Clement Lenglet at the heart of Spurs’ backline.
Ivan Perisic should start at the left wing-back position, whereas Matt Doherty will fill in on the other flank as the right wing-back. The full-backs will be expected to stay compact and keep their shape defensively.
Midfield
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg might start in the holding midfield position and could be assigned more of a defensive role to shield the away side’s back four.
Rodrigo Bentancur will slot into the central midfield role, determined to set up some clear-cut goal-scoring chances for the frontmen.
Attack
Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura will take up the wide positions, playing on the left and right wing, respectively.
Harry Kane will lead the line for Tottenham Hotspur in midweek. The England international will be hoping to get his name on the scoresheet when he faces off against the Marseille defence that has conceded six goals in their last five matches across all competitions.
Bryan Gil could come off the bench to make a cameo appearance in the second forty-five minutes of the match if needed.
