Here is the Tottenham Hotspur team we reckon Postecoglou will select to face Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon

Spurs still have a slim chance of reaching the top four but only if they can win all of their final three games against the Clarets, Manchester City and Sheffield United and above them Aston Villa do not get more than one point from their remaining two matches at home against Liverpool and away at Crystal Palace.
Postecoglou will have to make a number of decisions across his team as he chooses his starting XI from among the remaining fit members of his squad to face Vincent Kompany’s team, who will be relegated if they do not win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Australian has no fit left-backs and ended up bringing in midfielder Oliver Skipp into the role to replace the struggling Emerson Royal against Liverpool. The Spurs boss confirmed it was a position the coaching staff have been working with the 23-year-old on and that he could get more minutes in the role as the season progresses.
