Ange Postecoglou to consider four Tottenham changes vs Fulham with big Micky van de Ven decision

The Premier League is back on the agenda for Tottenham on Sunday afternoon as they make the trip across the capital to take on Fulham. Fresh from Thursday evening's 3-1 win over AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League, Ange Postecoglou's men have the chance to build some real momentum ahead of a crucial period in their season.

Tottenham also have the opportunity to cut Fulham's current eight-point lead over them to five points as they chase a top-half finish in the final ten games of the 2024/25 campaign. However, games at Craven Cottage are never straightforward and Spurs did lose 3-0 against the Cottagers this weekend 12 months ago.

So what could Postecoglou do with his Tottenham team three days after the win over AZ? football.london takes a look at four changes the boss could consider for the Premier League encounter.

Destiny Udogie for Djed Spence

Speaking on Tottenham's Review Show after the win over AZ, Postecoglou hinted at Djed Spence potentially getting a rest very soon after playing a lot of football in recent months. The chance to do so may come on Sunday at Craven Cottage as the boss is likely to tinker with his team.

As Destiny Udogie was an unused substitute on the night, the Italian will very likely come into the XI after not starting in the past two games.

Archie Gray/Ben Davies for Micky van de Ven/Cristian Romero

Spurs will have to decide whether or not to take Micky van de Ven out of the starting XI. The Dutchman played the first hour of the win over AZ before making way for Archie Gray.

Postecoglou and his team are currently managing his minutes and two starts in quick succession may come too soon for him, with a call perhaps also needing to be made over Cristian Romero after only recently returning from injury. Gray and Ben Davies will be waiting in the wings to come in if there is to be a change at the heart of defence.

Rodrigo Bentancur/Yves Bissouma for Pape Matar Sarr

Rodrigo Bentancur is available for selection once again after serving his one-match European ban. The midfielder may instantly return to the Tottenham XI in the Premier League but there is also Yves Bissouma to consider as well.

Due to Lucas Bergvall and James Maddison's importance in the Spurs midfield right now, Pape Matar Sarr may be the player at risk in west London.

Brennan Johnson/Mathys Tel for Wilson Odobert

Wilson Odobert repaid Postecoglou's faith in him with a vital double in the 3-1 win over AZ. The Frenchman has put himself in a really good position to start again but the boss could choose to manage his minutes after very little playing time this campaign due to injury.

Even if he does drop down to the bench, the ex-Burnley man will be an excellent option to bring on in the closing stages. Brennan Johnson and Mathys Tel will be pushing to start if Odobert is sub.
