Ange Postecoglou could make two changes when Tottenham travel to Sheffield United on Sunday (19 May).

Spurs will play their final Premier League match of the season at Bramall Lane.

Following their 2-0 defeat to Manchester City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday (14 May), Postecoglou's side can no longer qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

Nonetheless, the Australian will still be keen to finish his debut campaign in England with three points against the Blades.

To do that, the Australian could look to make some changes from the defeat against Pep Guardiola's side.

Guglielmo Vicario will expect to finish the season between the sticks for Spurs after making three saves against City (Sofascore).

Radu Dragusin impressed on Tuesday as he won six of his eight ground duels and made four tackles, and the Romania international is likely to continue alongside Cristian Romero.

This would see Micky van de Ven once again start at left-back while Pedro Porro could make way for Emerson Royal on the opposite flank.

The Spaniard had a night to forget against his former side as he gave away a penalty, won just three of his 11 ground duels, zero per cent of his aerial duels and completed 25 per cent of his dribbles.

James Maddison played four key passes against Guardiola's side and will likely keep his place in front of Rodrigo Bentancur and Pape Matar Sarr.

Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg could make way for Dejan Kulusevski with Postecoglou likely to revert to his preferred front three.

Brennan Johnson should keep his place in the team after winning 100 per cent of his ground duels and playing three key passes against City.

Son Heung-min struggled last time out as he missed two big chances and succeeded with just one of his five dribble attempts, but with a lack of options going forward, the South Korea international is likely to continue through the middle.
