Overview
Tottenham suffered a surprise defeat to Galatasaray in the Europa League in midweek. Prior to that, Spurs had two consecutive victories against Man City in the Carabao Cup and Aston Villa in the Premier League.
In the loss to Galatasaray, coach Ange Postecoglou's team conceded 3 goals in the first half. They could only score 2 goals in the second half in the context of playing with one less player from the 60th minute when Lankshear received a red card.
Tottenham need to put the Europa League defeat behind them to look forward to an important domestic game. Against a newly promoted team like Ipswich, this is a good opportunity for Spurs to take all 3 points.
Postecoglou can put his faith in Solanke, who has scored three goals in his last two games, while young striker Will Lankshear just scored his first goal for Spurs against Galatasaray.
Ipswich Town are a team that is inferior to Tottenham in every aspect. Since the beginning of the season, coach Kieran McKenna's team has not won any match in all competitions (lost 6, drawn 5). This includes a defeat to the third-tier team Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup.
Before round 11 of the Premier League, Ipswich ranked 18th and conceded 21 goals (second most in the league). They were considered to have a high chance of being relegated.
Ipswich will have to rely on striker Liam Delap if they are to improve their results, he has been the most impressive of Ipswich's new signings with 5 goals.
In the last match between the two teams in August 2020, Tottenham easily defeated Ipswich with a score of 3-0. With superior strength and home field advantage, it is likely that Spurs will continue to win by a large margin.
Human resources situation
Tottenham's Mickey Van de Ven is still out, but Cristian Romero could start. Timo Werner, Mikey Moore and Djed Spence are all doubts, while Richarlison and Wilson Odobert are all but certain to miss out.
On the other side of the front line, Kalvin Phillips is suspended after his red card against Leicester. However, Harry Clarke will return from suspension. Janoi Donacien, Jack Taylor, Jacob Greaves, Axel Tuanzebe and Chiedozie Ogbene are injured.
Expected lineup:
Tottenham: Vicario, Dragusin, Udogie, Romero, Porro, Kulusevski, Sarr, Bentancur, Son Heung-min, Solanke, Johnson.
Ipswich Town: Muric, Davis, Burgess, Johnson, O'Shea, Morsy, Cajuste, Chaplin, Hutchinson, Szmodics, Delap.
The match between Tottenham and Ipswich takes place at 9:00 p.m. on November 10 (Vietnam time).
