The arrival of Ange Postecoglou as Tottenham head coach means there will be a change of system ahead of the 2023/24 campaign. Previously operating 3-4-3 during Antonio Conte's tenure as Spurs boss, interim head coach Ryan Mason did opt for both 4-4-2 and 4-2-3-1 in the final few weeks of the season.
There will be no question marks surrounding the setup Postecoglou opts for, however, as 4-3-3 is his formation of choice. Celtic enjoyed great success playing his way and the Australian helped the Scottish giants lift five trophies from a possible six, including the treble to round off two remarkable years in the east end of Glasgow.
Continuing with three in attack once again, Tottenham will have an extra body in midfield next season and it could bring them plenty of joy in the process. A key feature of Postecoglou's midfield setup is that two of the midfielders are given licence to push upfield and offer support in attack, with the other midfielder keeping his position in the holding role as he is joined by the inverted full-backs coming inside.
