Tottenham Hotspur’s quest for Europa League glory is still alive, but it’s going to take a huge effort in Frankfurt for their journey – and Ange Postecoglou’s time as manager – to continue.

Sunday’s Premier League clash at Wolverhampton Wanderers has been rendered close to futile as a result of their disastrous domestic campaign. They’re 14th with seven games to play; safe from the drop but with no hope of making a push for Europe. Spurs have entered mid-table obscurity.

Thus, Postecoglou will be putting all of his chips into next Thursday’s basket and hoping his team escape Molineux unscathed.

Here’s how Tottenham could line up for their next Premier League clash at Wolves on Sunday.

GK: Guglielmo Vicario – There’s bound to be changes, but Postecoglou is unlikely to make a change between the sticks. Vicario could do nothing to prevent Hugo Ekitike from opening the scoring on Thursday.

RB: Archie Gray – The teenager was so impressive while Spurs were without their frontline defenders, but we’ve barely seen him since. There should be a return to the XI here, with Pedro Porro earning a rest.

CB: Cristian Romero – Romero was back to his best in midweek, and will likely have to keep his place with Radu Dragusin and Kevin Danso out injured.

CB: Ben Davies – Micky van de Ven will be wrapped up in cotton wool on Sunday, given that Postecoglou has veteran Davies in reserve.

LB: Djed Spence – Spence was a surprise omission from Thursday’s XI, although Destiny Udogie vindicated the manager’s faith. Spence has struggled to put a foot wrong since breaking into the team, and he’ll be back in the side on Sunday.

CM: Yves Bissouma – We haven’t seen all that much of the unreliable Bissouma as of late, but he could be brought back in from the cold here.

CM: Pape Sarr – The midfielder harbours hope of one day playing for Real Madrid, but Sarr’s got a long way to go yet despite once performing a key role in this Spurs team. His appearances have been more sporadic as of late.

CM: James Maddison – Lucas Bergvall should be rested, so we could see the creative Maddison keep his place for an hour at Molineux.

RW: Wilson Odobert – There were reports of Odobert suffering from hamstring tightness ahead of Thursday’s first leg, but his issue doesn’t seem like much of concern. With Brennan Johnson playing 90 minutes last time out, we could see the Frenchman down the right on Sunday.

ST: Richarlison – Dominic Solanke hasn’t quite looked the same since returning from a knee injury, and he’ll appreciate a breather here. Richarlison isn’t ready for 90 minutes, but he could offer Solanke respite.

LW: Mathys Tel – Son Heung-min will start in Frankfurt and drop out of the side at Molineux, opening the door for loanee Tel to impress.
