Bentancur and Johnson start, Son out: Spurs XI prediction for Forest trip

Team News

Tottenham defender Destiny Udogie is expected to be passed fit to return to the starting eleven while Rodrigo Bentacur is back in the squad after completing his seven-game ban.

For Nottingham Forest, midfielder Danilo is edging closer to a return from injury after suffering a broken ankle in August, Ibrahim Sangare remains out with a hamstring injury and Nicolas Dominguez is currently suspended.

Starting XI prediction

This might be a good chance for Brennan Johnson to do the damage against his old club and therefore the temptation to bring him into the starting eleven and hand Son a breather is definitely valid.

Apart from that, there are not too many major surprises with the possible team that Ange could select and it would be interesting to see if Bentancur walks straight back into the starting line-up.

Porro – Dragusin – Gray – Udogie

Bentancur – Sarr – Maddison
