Tottenham vs Elfsborg team news

Spurs’ injury woes continue to worsen with Richarlison now a doubt after being forced off early against Leicester. Pape Matar Sarr will also be assessed after Ange Postecoglou confirmed the midfielder should not have played during the loss on Sunday.

Brandon Austin will again play in goal with Antonin Kinsky ineligible, sitting out the game along with Djed Spence and Sergio Reguilon. Will Lankshear could get the nod up front, though Heung-min Son is the more obvious choice to lead the line despite being clearly in need of a rest.

James Maddison missed game against his former side due to “soreness”, but it is hoped he will be fit. Cristian Romero has been back in training for a week but, again, is unlikely to be risked. Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, Destiny Udogie, Guglielmo Vicario, Micky van de Ven and Wilson Odobert are sidelined.

Tottenham vs Elfsborg prediction

Injury crisis or no, anything less than a win would be considered another nadir for Spurs this season. Ange Postecoglou’s side will again be down to their bare bones, but there is enough quality - tired or not - to see off the fifth-best team in Sweden.

Spurs will hope to build a comfortable lead in the first half so Postecoglou can rest some of his exhausted players ahead of a trip to Brentford on Sunday.

Spurs to win, 2-0.
