Tottenham predicted team vs Sheffield United: Sissoko experiment ends as Mourinho selects winger

Jose Mourinho and Tottenham Hotspur need to get back to winning ways in the Premier League at Sheffield United.

Spurs might be unbeaten in the past six matches but will travel to side as the base of the table on the back of a poor display against third from bottom Fulham on Wednesday night.

Tottenham have now dropped 10 points from winning positions this season, the third most in the Premier League and Mourinho will be wanting his team to put Chris Wilder's side to the sword.

The Spurs boss could well look to get more attacking players on the pitch after having Moussa Sissoko, Harry Winks and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg all in the side against Fulham.

Sissoko was pushed up into a right wing role and it came with limited success for the north London outfit.

Tottenham have looked better with Steven Bergwijn in the team than out of it in recent weeks and Mourinho confirmed to football.london that the Dutchman has recovered from illness and is available for selection.

Gareth Bale's minutes are likely to come from the bench after his recent return from injury while the Dele Alli situation continues to frustrate the fans.

Toby Alderweireld will likely come back into the centre of defence after the sloppy equaliser conceded against Fulham, although .

Here is the team that we reckon Mourinho will choose to face Sheffield United.

4-2-3-1: Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Dier, Reguilon; Sissoko, Hojbjerg; Bergwijn, Ndombele, Son; Kane.
