Spurs team confirmed vs Sheff Utd: Dier back on bench as Postecoglou names side

Here's the Tottenham team Ange Postecoglou has selected to face Sheffield United in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon

Ange Postecoglou has named his Tottenham Hotspur to take on Sheffield United in the Premier League.

The Lilywhites host the newly-promoted Blades on Saturday afternoon after an unbeaten start to the Premier League season for Postecoglou's men. Spurs will want to get their momentum back after the international break ahead of next weekend's North London Derby.

Postecoglou indicated that everyone has returned to Tottenham in good shape so he has kept with the team that ran riot at Burnley in a 5-2 victory.

Manor Solomon keeps his place after two assists against the Clarets and with Dejan Kulusevski having had a great international break, with a goal and two assists for Sweden, Richarlison remains on the bench once again with Son Heung-min playing through the middle of Tottenham's attack.

New arrival Brennan Johnson got plenty of minutes for Wales during the international break and the £47.5m deadline day signing is on the bench.

Teenage striker Alejo Veliz has begun training after an injury following his arrival from Rosario Central slowed down his start to life at the club so he is not ready for a first appearance in a squad.

Here is the team Postecoglou has selected to face Sheffield United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium:

Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma, Maddison; Kulusevski, Son, Solomon. Subs: Forster, Davies, Emerson, Dier, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Perisic, Johnson, Richarlison.
