Four days on from conquering the Europa League, Tottenham Hotspur have one last Premier League assignment to complete, hosting Brighton & Hove Albion at their North London home.
The Lilywhites will dine at the Champions League table again next season after edging out Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao, so as has been the case throughout the knockout stages, Ange Postecoglou will make a plethora of changes for potentially his final game.
A whole new defensive contingent should take to the field on Sunday, as Antonin Kinsky dons the gloves behind a central pairing of Kevin Danso and Ben Davies, the latter of whom could make his last Spurs appearance.
Djed Spence and Sergio Reguilon - another who is sure to head for the exit door - should be trusted to operate out wide, and they may be two of four Spurs players bombing down the flanks in a 4-4-2 shape.
Postecoglou could very well try out that classic formation given his lack of midfield options, but at least one starter from Wednesday will remain, most likely Rodrigo Bentancur given Yves Bissouma's knock Pape Sarr's recent back concern.
Bissouma could operate alongside Archie Gray in a midfield partnership, while Wilson Odobert and Mathys Tel are surefire starters, and there is every chance that Mikey Moore and Damola Ajayi will join them in the final third.
Lucas Bergvall (ankle), Dejan Kulusevski (knee), Radu Dragusin (knee), Dane Scarlett (groin), James Maddison (knee), Son Heung-min (foot), Cristian Romero (toe) and Timo Werner (thigh) are all sidelined, while Richarlison should not be risked either after taking a knock in the Europa League final.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Kinsky; Spence, Danso, Davies, Reguilon; Ajayi, Gray, Bentancur, Moore; Odobert, Tel
