Tottenham Hotspur and Sheffield United have both unequivocally condemned the racist abuse directed at Blades goalkeeper Wes Foderingham following the game on Saturday.

Foderingham played all 90 minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and continued his good form, coming up with several crucial saves to keep the home side at bay.

It looked like the Sheffield club would walk away with all three points after Gustavo Hamer had given them an unlikely second-half lead.

However, Spurs produced a memorable comeback with late goals by Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski at the dying stage of injury time.

Racism will not be tolerated in the Premier League

After the game, Foderingham took to social media to reveal that he had received some racist abuse and that his family had been threatened.

He wrote on his Instagram stories (via talkSPORT): “I don’t mind opposition fans calling me every name under the sun, but be easy with the racism and family threats. Think before you type.”

Sheffield United condemned the racist and threatening messages sent to their number one and stated that they would work with the relevant bodies to investigate and support the goalkeeper.

Tottenham quickly followed suit, insisting that they would not hesitate to take the strongest possible action, including club bans, against anyone found responsible.

Spurs Web Opinion

Any fan found to have sent racist or threatening messages to Foderingham needs to be hit with the harshest punishment possible to send out a clear message that this kind of behaviour is not acceptable.

Richarlison is the only Tottenham star to be named in Gareth Crooks’ Team of the Week, with the former Spurs player lavishing praise on the Brazilian for his match-winning cameo.

Richarlison has endured an extremely difficult start to the season for both club and country, and he revealed last week he has also had some struggles in his personal life, which is why he is planning on seeking ‘psychological help’ (Globo Esporte).

Since the 25-year-old made that revelation, everyone at Spurs has gotten fully behind him, with Ange Postecolgou remarking on Friday that the forward will get all the help he needs (Football.London).

It is fair to say that Richarlison will now be feeling better about how things are going in his professional life as he proved to be Tottenham’s hero on Saturday.

The striker came off the bench to score a goal and set up Dejan Kulusevski’s match-winner as the home side turned the game around in dramatic fashion.

After the game, the former Everton man was mobbed by his teammates, with Son Heung-min even pushing him towards the front of the post-match celebrations so that he could bask in the appreciation of the Spurs fans (Football.London).

Richarlison makes PL Team of the Week

Crooks has now praised Richarlison’s unselfishness for picking out Kulusevski rather than going for goal himself.

The pundit wrote in his column for BBC Sport about the Tottenham star: “A goal and an assist from a player who has clearly been struggling with his form since he joined Spurs changed the game against Sheffield United.

“The movement by Richarlison for his headed equaliser was quite brilliant but it was his unselfishness and ability to pick out the pass for Dejan Kulusevski to score once inside the penalty area that won Tottenham the match.

“This is a player I have previously criticised. I have, in the past, found his antics rather juvenile.

“However, to have played in midweek for his country, returned on time to play for his club amid suggestions about the state of his mental health, come on as substitute and had such an impact on a match speaks volumes about the Brazilian’s strength and courage. Long may it continue.”

Spurs Web Opinion

This is exactly the sort of boost in confidence that Richarlison needed to get him back on track. I would expect the 26-year-old to be a completely different player the next time he sets foot on the pitch.

Let us hope that the floodgates now open for him in front of goal as there has never really been a doubt about his talent.

Tottenham Hotspur pulled off an astounding comeback to beat Sheffield United in North London yesterday, scoring twice deep into added time to claim all three points.

Let’s take a look at five things we learned from the match:

Richarlison Love

Once we saw the bench for the match against Sheffield United yesterday, it seemed written that Richarlison would come on and make a big impact, but few could have predicted the sheer drama of his cameo.

After being benched for two games in a row, enduring a difficult week on international duty with Brazil, and opening up on his mental health struggles, Richarlison showed so much bravery at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Coming on for 20 minutes, scoring the equaliser, and then assisting the winner. Let’s all hope this is the jump-start his Spurs career needed, and a significant boost to his overall happiness too.

Spurs Breaking Spurs Records

Tottenham managed to turn a losing position with 97 minutes and 33 seconds on the clock to a winning one come full-time – the latest comeback ever recorded in the Premier League. And who did they beat? Tottenham, of course! The previous record stood at 95 minutes when Steven Bergwijn came off the bench to net a brace against Leicester City (Tottenham).

This Added Time Is Silly

Spurs were the big winners from there being 15 minutes of added time yesterday, but this new trend is silly and downright dangerous. Turning 90-minute games into 100, even 110-minute matches is ridiculous amidst an already packed footballing calendar. I get that they want to crack down on time wasting, but there are other much better ways of doing that.

By the end of the match, we saw the likes of Pedro Porro, James Maddison, and Yves Bissouma all seemingly going down with cramp, as well as multiple Sheffield players. Putting an extra 10 minutes onto every game is all well and good, but it will cause plenty more injuries. Why not stop the clock for time wasting? Or start booking people early?

Perfect Postecoglou

Tottenham now go into the North London derby with their unbeaten Premier League record still standing, which is a far cry from what seemed like an inevitable defeat after 97 minutes. Not only is this more points on the board for Spurs, but it keeps heads high going into what many will bill as Postecoglou’s ‘first real test’ as Tottenham manager.

Brennan Johnson Debut

With all the late drama, Brennan Johnson’s debut drifted somewhat under the radar. However, he actually looked very bright after coming on. The youngster finished expertly only for the offside flag to deny him a debut goal, while he also assisted one that was ruled out for a foul.

You just get the feeling he is going to offer a lot to this chaotic Tottenham attack, particularly in the dying minutes of games when legs are tired and defenders don’t want a rapid winger running at them.

After scoring a late winner for Tottenham Hotspur in the 2-1 win over Sheffield United this weekend, Dejan Kulusevski insists he stayed calm in the dying embers of the game and felt confident he could find a breakthrough for his side.

Dejan Kulusevski appears to be back to his best after a difficult season last year, where injuries halted his progress for Tottenham. The Swede managed just two goals in the entirety of the 2022/23 campaign (Transfermarkt).

In just five games this season, Kulusevski has already matched that tally and looks to have found real momentum under new manager Ange Postecoglou.

Spurs were trailing after 73 minutes against Sheffield United on Saturday afternoon and their unbeaten start to the Premier League season appeared to be under threat despite dominating for large portions of the game.

With plenty of stoppage time to play, Tottenham managed to draw level thanks to a goal from Richarlison in the 98th minute. The Brazilian then turned provider, playing in his teammate, Kulusevski to score the winner in the 10th minute of injury time.

Kulusevski stayed calm to score winner against Blades

In an interview with the club after the game, Kulusevski explained how he felt going into those final moments of the game.

He said: “I was quite calm. It’s just a game of football, and when Richy scored, then we knew we would not lose. So, I had the ball, I did my thing, and I knew that I just had to make one good thing to score and that’s what happened.

“When you see the ball go in,for that first second, it’s like a bomb. All the hard work is worth it for that second… We are very happy, [the fans] helped us through the game, they didn’t get frustrated, and in the end they helped us win.”

Kulusevski also took a moment to mention Richarlison’s impact, adding: “He is a top player, I love playing with him. Unbelievable player. We just have to feed him the ball because he is always going to score like that. We have to help him on and off the pitch. He is a great guy and he helps our team so much.”

Spurs Web Opinion

Having Dejan Kulusevski back in this kind of form is huge for us and now that he is growing in confidence we should hopefully be able to see him get even better. That forward line we have, with Kulusevski, Son, Richarlison all in form, and Maddison feeding them, is incredibly dangerous.

Speaking after his side came from behind to beat Sheffield United this afternoon, Ange Postecoglou praised the ‘spirit and character and resilience’ his team showed to secure the win.

Ange Postecoglou has made a rather incredible start to his time at Tottenham. Despite initial skepticism surrounding his appointment, the Australian has well and truly proved his doubters wrong.

The 58-year-old has very quickly transformed the fortunes and attitudes of the team, instilling a new sense of optimism around the club with his exciting brand of attacking football.

Results are matching the performances, too, with four wins and a draw in the opening five games of the Premier League campaign leaving Spurs in second place as things stand.

The Lilywhites left it late to secure a home victory over Sheffield United today. The Blades took the lead in the 73rd minute, but stoppage time goals from Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski were enough to seal all three points for Spurs.

Postecoglou is happy with late show

In his post-match press conference (via Football.London), Postecoglou seemed to enjoy the frantic finish to the game which saw his side score in the 98th and 100th minute of the match, and suggested the late display is an encouraging sign of what his team is capable of.

He said: “Yeah, there was a fair bit going on out there today. A great ending, in terms of what we’re trying to build, there’s the football side of it but there’s also trying to build the spirit and character and resilience within the group and they showed bags of it today.

“Hopefully it gives us the opportunity to fuel that further. Every time you have to deal with adversity and you overcome it, I think it helps in what you’re trying to grow.”

Spurs Web Opinion

It’s nice to be on the right end of the drama there, but I’m sure most people would rather we won the game comfortably in regulation time. Nevertheless, we have to enjoy these entertaining and ultimately satisfying moments, and hopefully the team can learn from it, too.

Ange Postecoglou has maintained his unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign, and after securing a win over Sheffield United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium today, he explained why it is so important to perform well at home.

It is now four wins in a row for Ange Postecoglou after his side came from behind to win 2-1 at home to newly-promoted Sheffield United this afternoon.

Any concerns over Postecoglou’s credentials have been firmly dismissed now, and replaced by an incredible excitement and optimism from those connected to Tottenham.

The Australian coach has revitalised Spurs with his commitment to attacking football, and the team are certainly pleasing the fans with their performances this year.

It was a difficult game against the Blades today, however, with the away side taking the lead after 73 minutes. Tottenham left it late to secure all three points, with goals from Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski coming in the 98th and 100th minute.

Winning at home is key for Postecoglou

Speaking to Football.London after the game, Postecoglou reiterated just how important it is to entertain the home crowd and to win football matches at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

When asked about his record of results at home, Postecoglou said: “It’s funny you say that because I do put a big emphasis on that, wherever I’ve been, because ultimately for your supporters, as much you enjoy the away wins because you’ve got to earn every one of them, it’s when they come to their home ground that you want to really reward them.”

And, on the atmosphere at the Spurs ground, he added: “We felt it from the Shakhtar game and the [Manchester] United game, this is only our second home game [in the Premier League], but games like these can go a long way to creating an atmosphere here [at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium].”

Spurs Web Opinion

Any top side has to become formidable at home and turn the stadium into a fortress, and now that the crowd are firmly behind the team and the manager, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be an incredibly difficult place for away sides to visit.

Richarlison found the perfect way to bounce back from a difficult week with a match-winning performance against Sheffield United this afternoon. Speaking after the game, his manager was full of praise for the Brazilian attacker.

Things haven’t always gone Richarlison‘s way since joining Tottenham last summer. He ended the 2022/23 campaign with just three goals to his name, and only one of those came in the Premier League (Transfermarkt).

Since the departure of Harry Kane this summer, Richarlison has had to step up and the lead the line for Spurs. The 26-year-old started the first three league games of this season under Ange Postecoglou but failed to score.

He then bagged his first of the campaign in the Carabao Cup against Fulham, but was replaced by Heung-min Son for the win over Burnley. The Spurs captain struck a hattrick in that game, and was given the nod to start against Sheffield United today.

Richarlison came off the bench in the 80th minute with his side trailing 1-0, and was integral to the turnaround for Spurs. The forward scored in the 98th minute to level the scores, before assisting Dejan Kulusevski two minutes later to ensure Tottenham took all three points from the game.

Richarlison is working hard and getting his rewards

The star performance today comes on the back of Richarlison admitting he is struggling with personal issues and is seeking ‘psychological help’ (Globo Esporte).

Speaking about his player’s impact today, Postecoglou told Football.London: “Richy was great… I think it’s the point I was trying to make yesterday – for him to understand that you try and maintain a balance in life. And his football hasn’t been that bad, he’s still been contributing for us.

“Sometimes when you struggle with certain parts of your life you let it go into other areas. But the football is one area he can control, and he works hard everyday in training and really got his rewards today. Hopefully that gives him a bit more of a settled feel to deal with the other areas in his life. For everyone, it’s about not letting it overwhelm you. And hopefully a day like today helps him.”

Spurs Web Opinion

I’m buzzing for Richarlison to get the goal and the assist today, and hopefully, that can really help him get some momentum and put all his difficulties behind him. He is such a good player and a very valuable member of the squad, who works incredibly hard every game, and proved how dangerous he can be today.

Speaking to the press after his side continued their unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign, Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou revealed his thinking behind the substitutions he made during the win over Sheffield United.

Tottenham went into the international break with three wins and a draw from the first four games of the new league season, with Ange Postecoglou making an instant impact at the club.

A home game against newly-promoted Sheffield United this afternoon would look, on paper at least, to be a straightforward three points for Spurs. That wasn’t the case on the day, however, with the Blades pushing the Lilywhites all the way to the 110th minute.

Despite Tottenham dominating possession and having the lion’s share of the chances, Sheffield United took the lead after 73 minutes. With his side trailing, Postecoglou brought on new boy Brennan Johnson, Ivan Perisic, and Richarlison in the 80th minute, and all three had a say in the final result.

Postecoglou explains his super subs

Johnson had a goal disallowed shortly after coming on, but Richarlison found the back of the net in the 98th minute to level the scores thanks to an assist from Ivan Perisic. Richarlison then set up Dejan Kulusevski for the winner two minutes later.

On his decision to change things, Postecoglou told Football.London: “I was thinking that [there would be a lot of added time when deciding when to use the subs] although I was worried when I saw just three minutes in the first half. We were still on top while they were dangerous from long throws and set pieces. I was conscious that there might be 10 minutes at the end at least.”

Spurs Web Opinion

It’s always satisfying to see substitutions working like they did today, and I think it’s just further proof that Spurs have really good strength in depth right now. This is particularly evident in attacking areas, and it seems we can look to the bench and have a few different options to change a game now.

Brennan Johnson made a winning start to life as a Tottenham Hotspur player, and speaking after the victory over Sheffield United, the winger revealed just how happy he was with his debut.

After speculation mounted all summer, Brennan Johnson finally joined Tottenham on transfer deadline day. The Welshman left his boyhood club, Nottingham Forest, for the Lilywhites in a £47.5m deal (Sky Sports).

Johnson had to wait for the international break to be over before he could get a chance to turn out in a Spurs shirt, but he was handed his debut by his new manager, Ange Postecoglou, in the home tie against newly-promoted Sheffield United this afternoon.

The 22-year-old took to the field with 10 minutes of regulation play to go, and with his new team trailing 1-0 to the away side.

Thankfully, Spurs found a breakthrough in stoppage time thanks to a 98th minute goal from Richarlison. The game was turned completely on its head moments later, when the Brazilian turned provider for Dejan Kulusevski, to seal all three points for the North London side.

Brennan Johnson delighted with his debut

It may not have been easy, but Brennan Johnson has spoken of how much he enjoyed the game in his post-match interview with the club.

“It doesn’t get much better than that. It was a pleasure to be here and today just showed how much of a dream come true it is for me to be here and playing in games like this. I’m so happy right now… I was a bit nervous, but excited too, and playing in a team like this as we go 1-0 down, I knew I was going to get opportunities.

“To be involved in that on my first day, is only a sign of things to come… It just shows what we are about. We never want to give up, we keep running. It was important to keep going… Everyone is fit, everyone is strong.”

On the style of play Spurs are exhibiting right now, Johnson added: “Tactically it’s a bit different to what I’ve come from, but I’m asked to stick to my position and make things happen… [The dressing room] is a good place right now, we are all excited.”

Spurs Web Opinion

If you asked any Spurs fan before the game, a win was absolutely expected against Sheffield United, but to see the team come from behind and battle like that is a really encouraging sign of what this squad is capable of. It was nice to see Johnson make his debut and he very nearly had a goal to mark it, too.

Here’s how we rated the Tottenham Hotspur players following the opening forty-five minutes of action against Sheffield United in today’s Premier League clash at the Spurs Stadium.

Ange Postecoglou’s side head into the break currently level at 0-0 despite having dominated possession.

Guglielmo Vicario: Saved well with his feet from McAtee before the offside flag went up. 6.

Pedro Porro: With most of the play having been down the left, his involvement has been limited in the opposition half.  Nearly got on the of Maddison’s lobbed pass just before the break. 6.

Cristian Romero: Two goals already this season.  Headed over from a corner in the first fifteen minutes. 7.

Micky van de Ven: The Dutchman is looking more and more assured alongside Romero with every game, apart from a nervy pass just before the half time whistle which cost his side a corner. 6.

Destiny Udogie: Has looked comfortable down the left, tucking in on occasion to help join in Tottenham’s attacking play 7.

Pape Matar Sarr: Had an early shot on goal but was an easy save for Foderingham.  Nearly had another opportunity on a quarter of an hour but could not connect correctly with his header from eight yards out 8.

Yves Bissouma: Went on a driving run to create space on the left-hand side of the box but saw his shot saved by the keeper.  Has looked assured on the ball once more with some nice interlink play with Sarr, especially. 8.

James Maddison: Drove forward well with the ball on 22 minutes, but could have done with taking a couple more touches after his shot lacked power.  All the play in the final third has mostly gone through August’s Premier League Player of the Month.  Should have had a penalty when Chris Basham clipped his ankle in the box. 8.

Dejan Kulusevski: Played a nice floated cross into the penalty area which unfortunately was a inch too high for Sarr.  Has looked hungry for the ball down the right and more energetic than the end of last season highlighted by when he put in another lung-busting shift to chase down keeper Wes Foderingham and almost caught him out 7.

Heung-min Son: Curled a shot with his right which Foderingham pushed behind. 6.

Manor Solomon: Went close after he drove across the edge of the area with a jinking run only to see Foderingham save down to his right.  Played a nice cross which Son couldn’t connect his header fully with. 7.

Ange Postecoglou has named his Tottenham Hotspur side which will take to the field in this afternoon’s Premier League clash against Sheffield United.

Spurs head into the match following the international break second in the Premier League table behind Manchester City having won three of their opening four matches, and drew their opening fixture at Brentford.

Ange Postecoglou confirmed yesterday that Giovani Lo Celso is the only Spurs player currently sidelined with the midfielder having missed the 5-2 win at Burnley and the international fixtures with Argentina but is in contention to return for next weekend’s North London derby at Arsenal.

Tottenham team news vs Sheffield United

Postecoglou told Football.London at yesterday’s pre-match press conference: “Yeah, he is not available for this weekend. He did train with us yesterday but we will give him another week and will hopefully be available for next weekend.”

A win against the Blades today would give Spurs 13 points from five games and signal their best start to a league campaign since the 1965-66 season.

This is who takes to the field in North London this afternoon:

https://x.com/SpursOfficial/status/1703031058092941649?s=20

Tottenham: Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie, Sarr, Bissouma, Kulusevski, Maddison, Solomon, Son

Subs: Skipp, Hojbjerg, Richarlison, Emerson, Perisic, Dier, Forster, Johnson, Davies.

Sheffield United: Foderingham; Ahmedhodzic, Basham(C), Robinson; Bogle, Vinicius Souza, McAtee, Hamer, Thomas; McBurnie, Archer.

Subs: A Davies, Trusty, Seriki, T Davies, Larouci, Slimane, Norwood, Traore.

The Spurs players and backroom staff including Ange Postecoglou have arrived at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ahead of this afternoon’s match against Sheffield United.

Spurs have made an unbeaten start and sit second in the Premier League table with a victory today looking to be crucial with key clashes against Arsenal and Liverpool to come this month.

The feel-good factor has returned among many fans following a taster of Ange Postecoglou’s exciting brand of football with today’s match representing their second match at home on the back of the impressive 2-0 win over Manchester United.

The Lilywhites had won seven top flight games in a row against newly-promoted opposition until losing 3-2 to Bournemouth in their most recent such home meeting in April.

Can Spurs continue their unbeaten their Premier League start?

Spurs have scored two or more goals in each of their four top-flight games under Postecoglou. If they repeat that today, the Australian will be the first Premier League boss since Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea in 2018 to achieve that feat in their first five matches in the competition

Among the players spotted arriving in N17 were Alejo Veliz, Heung-min Son and Ben Davies.

Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that Richarlison will be part of Tottenham’s matchday squad against Sheffield United this afternoon.

The Brazilian has had a difficult start to the season, having come under plenty of criticism for failing to find the back of the net in the first few Premier League games of the campaign (talkSPORT).

His struggles continued into the international break as he drew a blank in front of goal for the Selecao in their World Cup qualifiers against Bolivia and Peru.

Richarlison missed a gilt-edged chance in the former and was subsequently seen in tears on the bench. The Tottenham man explained a few days ago that his emotions had to do with personal issues off the pitch and revealed that he plans to seek ‘psychological help’  (Globo Esporte).

In his press conference on Friday, Postecoglou admitted that footballers are not immune to mental health struggles despite their sucess and remarked that the professionals at Spurs will give the 26-year-old the assistance he needs (Football.London).

Richarlison gets Postecoglou backing for Sheffield United match

However, the Tottenham head coach has confirmed that the former Everton man will be involved in the clash against the Blades.

When asked about Richarlison’s availability for his afternoon’s clash, Postecoglou said (via Charlie Eccleshare): “He’ll be involved. He trained today [Friday] and he looks fine.

“We’ll provide all the support he needs and we’ll try and help and sort of guide him to be in a place where he’s happy about himself. But he’ll be involved tomorrow. Absolutely.”

Spurs Web Opinion

I believe that Richarlison himself would have preferred to be involved against Sheffield United. If the forward felt that he needed a break, I am sure that Postecoglou and the club would have been more than happy to give him a holiday.

Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson has shared his prediction ahead of Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League clash against Sheffield United this afternoon.

Spurs return to action at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time since beating Manchester United 2-0 in impressive fashion last month and are looking to continue their unbeaten start to the new Premier League campaign.

Heading into the weekend, Ange Postecoglou’s side are second in the table behind Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, who have enjoyed a perfect start to the season with four wins out of four and with Spurs facing both Arsenal and Liverpool later this month, it’s crucial that they take all three points against the Blades to keep themselves in touching distance even at this early stage.

Paul Merson tips Spurs to beat Sheffield United

Last time out, Merson tipped Tottenham to struggle at Burnley where he claimed they would be held to a 1-1 draw, when it turned out to be a comfortable 5-2 victory for the North Londoners (SportsKeeda).

The Blades have found their return to the top flight somewhat difficult, with just one point from their opening four fixtures.

Merson told SportsKeeda: “Tottenham have come along really well under Ange Postecoglou and I expect them to win this one quite comfortably. I like the way they’re playing, but their first big test of the season comes next weekend when they face arch-rivals Arsenal. Spurs need to win this one though and I think they’ll do so with ease.

“Son Heung-min played through the center and scored a hattrick in his previous Premier League encounter, but Sheffield United are a physical team, so big Ange might look to play Richarlison up front to add something different to his attack.

“Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 Sheffield United.”

SpursWeb Opinion

It will be interesting to see if Postecoglou decides to recall Richarlison to his starting eleven after he dropped to the bench at Burnley and also had a difficult international stint with Brazil, Heung-min Son stepped up to score a hat-trick at Turf Moor, while Manor Solomon had a solid game with two assists.

Spurs team news vs Sheffield United

The Blades, who returned to the top flight following promotion last season are still looking for their first victory with just a single point to show for their efforts to date.

Such is the protocol, the media are informed of the availability of the Spurs squad ahead of the clash against Paul Heckingbottom’s side.

Cristian Romero and Son Heung-min both suffered injury scares while away with their nations, while Rodrigo Bentancur, Bryan Gil, Ryan Sessegnon and Alfie Whiteman all remain sidelined.

Giovani Lo Celso, who missed the match at Burnley and the international fixtures with Argentina remains out.

Postecoglou told Football.London: “We had everyone back yesterday. More of a recovery session. All good, got through training ok. At this moment everyone came through.

“[Lo Celso] isn’t available this weekend. He trained yesterday but we’re going to give it another week.”

Will Spurs beat Sheffield United?

The Blades are still seeking their first win since their return to the top flight with just a single point to account for their first four fixtures.

Lawrenson believes that Spurs will continue their impressive form by taking all three points against the Blades at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

He told PaddyPower: “Ange Postecoglou has done well, hasn’t he? He’s got Tottenham playing fast, attractive, football.

“They play Sheffield United who could and should have beaten Everton in the last time but Tottenham look good at home.

“Tottenham 2-0 Sheffield United.”

SpursWeb Opinion

With huge matches coming up against Arsenal and Liverpool in consecutive weeks, it’s important that Tottenham secure a victory against the Blades to ensure they are high on confidence ahead of the trip to the Emirates.

Journalist Dean Jones expects Brennan Johnson to start on the bench against Sheffield United on Saturday and to be introduced in the second half when the away side gets tired.

Tottenham will be looking to make it four wins in five when they host the Blades on Saturday in what will be just their second home game of the season.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was buzzing when the Lilywhites turned over Manchester United last month and Ange Postecoglou will be hoping that his players can help create a similar atmosphere by making a fast start.

Spurs fans may also get their first glimpse at Brennan Johnson, who arrived at the club in a £47.5m deal on transfer deadline day.

Jones has said that he does not expect the 22-year-old to be thrown straight into the starting eleven by Postecoglou. The journalist suggested that the Australian could instead use the Wales international’s pace and directness as a weapon in the latter stage of the encounter when the visitors tire.

Brennan Johnson is expected to make the bench

When asked about Johnson potentially making his Spurs debut on Saturday, Jones told GiveMeSport: “I’ve got a feeling he might still start on the bench and be looking to make an impact later on in the game.

“I feel like because Spurs have been doing well in the format that they’ve had going, Postecoglou might be tempted to continue with that.

“And then allow Brennan Johnson to come into the game later on, have eyes on how the game is panning out, where he’s going to get the most joy, where the spaces are going to open up for him to exploit.

“And his directness too, later on in the game, when Sheffield United are tiring. I feel like that’s probably going to be the best way to use him at this stage. But it’ll be interesting. He’s got a decision to make.”

Spurs Web Opinion

I expect Postecoglou to stick with the same front three which started against Burnley, barring any late injury concerns, as all three of Son, Solomon and Kulusevski delivered impressive performances at Turf Moor.

Tottenham Hotspur take on Sheffield United this weekend in the Premier League as Ange Postecoglou looks to continue his unbeaten start to life in N17. 

We believe that Guglielmo Vicario will retain his spot between the sticks, having played no minutes for Italy over the international break.

Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie line up in the inverted fullback roles, while Micky Van de Ven and Cristian Romero are named in defence – the latter coming off the back of two mammoth performances for Argentina.

In midfield, Yves Bissouma will hold things down as usual, while Pape Matar Sarr and James Maddison complete what is now becoming a regular trio.

Up front is where we see our change for the weekend, with Richarlison replacing Manor Solomon as we expect Postecoglou to show some faith in the Brazilian during a tough time.

Heung-min Son and Dejan Kulusevsku line up on the wings, with new boy Brennan Johnson set to make his debut from the bench in front of a home crowd.

Tottenham Hotspur take on Sheffield United in the Premier League this weekend as they look to continue their unbeaten start to life under Ange Postecoglou. 

The Lilywhites have picked up a draw away to Brentford and wins over Manchester United, Burnley, and Bournemouth to find themselves in the top four.

More importantly, the Spurs faithful have really been able to get behind what is now being referred to as Ange-ball – a far cry from the defensive, counter-attacking football of Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte.

90 min have claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are one of a whole host of clubs in the Premier League and across Europe who hold an interest in Sheffield United striker Daniel Jebbison.

Jebbison came through the Blades youth ranks and made his first-team debut for the club back in 2021 and he became the youngest player in the Premier League history to score on his full debut, netting against Everton aged just 17 and 309 days.

The centre-forward, who impressed during his loan spell at Burton Albion in League One during the second half of the 2021-22 season, made 16 appearances in the Championship last campaign.

Tottenham have a firm eye on Daniel Jebbison

90 min reveal that Tottenham are one of the clubs who hold a ‘huge interest’ in Jebbison while the likes of Newcastle United, Everton and Aston Villa are also said to be keeping close tabs on his situation.

The report adds that the striker is also on the wishlist of Juventus, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen, with the trio allegedly ‘gearing up’ to make a move for the 19-year-old.

With Jebbison having just one year left to run on his contract at Bramall Lane, 90 min claim that Paul Heckingbottom’s men face ‘a huge battle’ to hang on to the youngster.

Spurs Web Opinion

Tottenham would likely be a much more attractive destination for young players now that it was when the likes of Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho were in charge, given Postecoglou’s reputation for working with and nurturing up-and-coming talent.

So, perhaps Spurs would fancy their chances of convincing Jebbison to make the move to North London.
