Tottenham Projected Attack

Tottenham is going to play with four players committed to the attack with an attacking band of three behind talisman Harry Kane. When thinking about who the best three would be, the end of the Mura match is a good play to start.

Son Heung-Min (LF)

Son Heung-Min was instant offense on Thursday evening for Tottenham and Santo will be hoping for more of the same Sunday. The South Korean seems to be working diligently to get his connection with Kane rekindled and Sunday may see the fruits of that labor.

Giovani Lo Celso (AM)

Dele Alli and Tanguy Ndombele could both make a claim of sorts to this role but after his impact on Thursday evening, Govani Lo Celso gets the big call Sunday. Lo Celso has shown with his willingness to play on the right of an attacking three he can interchange with any of the front four One of several players still looking for his best position, hopefully, this is it for Lo Celso.

Lucas Moura (RF)

Like Son, Lucas Moura came on against Mura and was instant offense assisting on Kane’s first goal to help Spurs take command. Moura has not quite been the same since picking up a knock a few weeks back and Spurs need his aggression and tenacity on both sides of the ball.

Harry Kane (CF)

Harry Kane was back in the goals on Thursday with his rapid-fire hat-trick. While another hat-trick against Vill would be ideal, just getting a goal to end his Premier League drought is a start for Kane. What we know about Spurs superstar is he is happiest when he is scoring so the team needs to help make that happen.
