Ange Postecoglou has named an unchanged Tottenham Hotspur side from his previous Premier League match as they take on Brighton away on Sunday.
Spurs have won five matches in a row in all competitions and they travel to the Amex Stadium just two-and-a-half days after their 2-1 win against Ferencvaros in Budapest in the Europa League on Thursday night. For this latest game, Postecoglou has named the same starting XI that won 3-0 at Manchester United last Sunday.
Micky van de Ven and Rodrigo Bentancur were rested entirely on Thursday and return to the team as does Destiny Udogie, who Postecoglou said would be fit to return if his involvement in training on Friday and Saturday went to plan.
Dominic Solanke only came on to the pitch for the final 10 minutes or so, while Brennan Johnson, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski all played a little over 25 minutes each, Johnson only further boosting his confidence in scoring what made it a goal in five consecutive games.
The main decision Postecoglou had to make was, with Son Heung-min still out, whether Timo Werner made it three starts in a row or 17-year-old Mikey Moore got another chance to impress after his full debut in midweek and the German has got the nod.
Here's the Spurs team Postecoglou has selected at Brighton: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Werner. Subs: Forster, Dragusin, Spence, Gray, Sarr, Bissouma, Bergvall, Moore, Lankshear.
