Tottenham confirmed team vs Man City as Dragusin, Bentancur and Hojbjerg in, Kulusevski out

Ange Postecoglou has made three changes to his Tottenham team to face Manchester City in what is set to be an unusual atmosphere in N17 on Tuesday evening.

Spurs welcome Pep Guardiola's in-form side at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, knowing that two victories in their remaining games coupled with Aston Villa losing their final game at Crystal Palace would see Postecoglou's team finish fourth and qualify for the Champions League,

From the other side of the coin, a City win would take the visitors one step closer to lifting the Premier League trophy for a fourth consecutive year, while a Spurs victory or draw would instead hand the advantage to their local rivals Arsenal on the final day, something many Tottenham fans are not keen on.

Postecoglou is without Yves Bissouma for the final two games of the campaign with a knee injury, while Richarlison's calf problem means his season is also over.

The Spurs boss had to decide on a couple of midfield changes with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg replacing Bissouma in the centre of the park and Rodrigo Bentancur coming in for Dejan Kulusevski with James Maddison presumably pushing into a more advanced role to leave Pape Matar Sarr making up the midfield trio.

The Australian has decided against starting Oliver Skipp again at left-back, instead pushing Micky van de Ven across with Radu Dragusin coming into the defence. Young midfielder Tyrese Hall is on the bench for the first time.
