Tottenham Bench

With some players out and three new starters from the Watford match based on our prediction, we again see some youth on the bench as well as the return of some big names.

We anticipate that Tanguy Ndombele will be on the bench for the first time this season given the limitations in the midfield. Ndombele will be particularly important given the lack of any other real firepower – proven – available as Dane Scarlett and Jack Clark both make the team with Bergwijn and Son out, as does Nile John.

Those youngsters will be joined by new signing Emerson, as well as veterans Harry Winks, Matt Doherty, and Ben Davies. Pierluigi Gollini is the backup keeper.
