Monday 19th October Premier League TottenhamTottenham20:00CoventryCoventryCredit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramTottenham predicted lineup vs Coventry CityGoalkeeper – Antonin Kinsky: Conceded just once against United and remains De Zerbi’s first choice, we expect Kinsky to continue in goal on Monday.Right-back – Archie Gray: With Pedro Porro still sidelined but close to a return, Gray is expected to continue at right-back.Centre-back – Jan Paul van Hecke: Featured last time out despite an injury scare and the birth of his child. He impressed against United and should keep his place at the heart of defence.Centre-back – Micky van de Ven: Tottenham fans remain split on whether Senesi should continue after his strong display against United. However, given Coventry’s counter-attacking threat, van de Ven’s pace is likely to see him start.Left-back – Andy Robertson: Missed the United clash but should return to the squad. De Zerbi could also opt for Destiny Udogie, but Robertson offers experience.Centre-midfield – Sandro Tonali: Played deeper against United as the holding midfielder and will likely do so again, with Rodrigo Bentancur suspended.Centre-midfield – Mateus Fernandes: With Spurs expected to dominate possession at home, Fernandes’ technical ability should see him come into the side.Centre-midfield – Conor Gallagher: James Maddison could feature, but it remains uncertain. Gallagher is expected to get the nod in midfield.Right-wing – Mohammed Kudus: Missed a big chance against United but impressed with his directness and dribbling. He should start on the right.Striker – Dominic Solanke: Scored his first goal of the season against United, which will boost his confidence. He is expected to lead the line again.Left-wing – Savio: A bright spark in attack, the Brazilian should start on the left, bringing creativity and flair.READ MORE: How to watch Tottenham vs Coventry: TV channel, team news and predictionsThe post Tottenham predicted lineup vs Coventry as Mateus Fernandes returns to the XI appeared first on Spurs Web.
