“Ange’s Ruthless Cull: 100% Star SHOCKINGLY Axed in EIGHT Insane Tottenham Changes for West Ham Clash!”

Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham side secured a 3-1 victory over Bodø/Glimt at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday (1 May) in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League semi-final.

Despite being hit by the late injury withdrawal of Lucas Bergvall, Spurs made a lightning-fast start, with Brennan Johnson opening the scoring in the first minute.

James Maddison and Dominic Solanke added further goals to give the hosts a commanding lead.

However, a late strike from Bodø/Glimt keeps the tie alive heading into the second leg at Aspmyra Stadion on Thursday (8 May).

With Tottenham’s Premier League campaign now winding down, Postecoglou is expected to rotate his squad significantly for their upcoming fixture against West Ham at the London Stadium on Sunday (4 May).

Postecoglou expected to rotate heavily v West Ham

Guglielmo Vicario, who had a relatively quiet evening against Bodø/Glimt with just three shots faced [Sofascore], is set to retain his place in goal.

In defence, three changes are likely. Ben Davies could replace Micky van de Ven—despite the Dutchman’s strong showing, winning all his aerial duels and completing 96% of his passes.

Kevin Danso is in line to come in for Cristian Romero, whose performance drew criticism from Ally McCoist.

Meanwhile, Destiny Udogie may be rested in favour of Djed Spence, while Pedro Porro should keep his spot after providing an assist and creating four key chances.

The midfield is likely to see a complete reshuffle. Maddison, who scored and completed 93% of his passes, left the pitch with discomfort and may be rested.

Dejan Kulusevski is expected to come in, offering a chance to regain sharpness.

Pape Matar Sarr and Archie Gray could replace Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma, respectively, with Bergvall unavailable.

Solanke to be rested after knock

Solanke, who netted Spurs’ third and completed 80% of his passes, also picked up a knock and is unlikely to feature.

Richarlison is expected to lead the line, flanked by Mathys Tel on the left and Wilson Odobert on the right—replacing Brennan Johnson in the front three.

Postecoglou’s rotation aims to manage fitness ahead of the decisive second leg in Norway.
