Tudor makes two changes from the team that lost to Newcastle in Thomas Frank’s final game, with Joao Palhinha coming in for Wilson Odobert as the other change.

Recent loan signing James Wilson is on the bench for the first time, alongside Richarlison.

Tudor has favoured a 3-4-2-1 formation throughout his managerial career and it could be a back three of Micky van de Ven, Radu Dragusin and Palhinha, with Cristian Romero suspended and Kevin Danso still injured.

Pedro Porro is still out, so Djed Spence plays on the left and Archie Gray on the right.

Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr, Conor Gallagher and Xavi Simons also start.

Richarlison returns on the bench, having missed the last seven games with a hamstring injury.

Wilson Odobert became the latest victim of Spurs’ injury crisis after he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during last week’s 2-1 defeat to Newcastle.

Romero serves the second of his four-game suspension following his red card at Manchester United.

Tottenham confirmed XI: Vicario, Dragusin, Van de Ven, Palhinha, Gray, Bissouma, Sarr, Spence, Gallagher, Simons, Kolo Muani

Subs: Austin, Rowswell, Souza, Olusesi, Williams-Barnett, Tel, Richarlison, Solanke, Wilson

Injured: Odobert, Maddison, Kulusevski, Kudus, Bentancur, Davies, Bergvall, Romero, Udogie, Richarlison, Porro

Date and time: 4:30pm GMT on Sunday, February 22, 2026

Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
