Tottenham XI vs Man City: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Carabao Cup

Ange Postecoglou has hinted at changes to his Tottenham XI for Wednesday's Carabao Cup fourth-round tie against Manchester City.

The Spurs manager made eight changes for the last-gasp win over Coventry in the last round but can be expected to go stronger against the champions.

Spurs are short of options in the front three, with Heung-min Son aiming for a return against Aston Villa on Sunday, Wilson Odobert definitely out and 17-year-old Mikely Moore unlikely to start a third game in week.

Richarlison is pushing for his first start since August but Timo Werner and Brennan Johnson are likely to flank Dominic Solanke again.

Rodrigo Bentancur and Pape Sarr have not started the last two League games but could come into the midfield without significantly reducing Spurs' level.

Dejan Kulusevski may be preferred to his compatriot Lucas Bergvall as the other attacking No8 next to Sarr given the former’s excellent performances of late.

Pedro Porro was rested against AZ Alkmaar last week and pushing to keep his place against his former club, with Radu Dragusin likely to come in at centre-half.

Postecoglou faces a decision at left-back, with Djed Spence, Ben Davies and Archie Gray all contenders to play if Destiny Udogie needs a rest.

Guglielmo Vicario is likely to keep his place in goal ahead of No2 Fraser Forster, who started at Coventry and impressed against Alkmaar last week.

Tottenham predicted XI (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Davies; Bentancur, Sarr, Kulusevski; Johnson, Werner, Solanke

Injured: Son, Odobert
