Guglielmo Vicario has enjoyed a positive start to life at Spurs. Hugo Lloris – who remains at the club but could leave – left big shoes to fill for the Italian by stepping aside as the No 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Vicario has been excellent, particularly with his composure in possession. Spurs hardly miss Lloris, who was well past his best last season and was blamed for several poor errors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Emerson Royal played well in the opening weekend win over Brentford, scoring Spurs\u2019 equaliser just before half-time.\u00a0<\/p>\n Postecoglou appears to have favoured Pedro Porro since. Emerson\u2019s below-par display in the EFL Cup defeat at Fulham in midweek might shift the decision in favour of Porro – but both right-backs have their strengths and weaknesses.\u00a0<\/p>\n Elsewhere across the back line, Cristian Romero will continue to partner the impressive Micky van de Ven. Destiny Udogie will keep out Ben Davies.\u00a0<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

That performance is likely to have prompted the rumoured pursuit of Chelsea\u2019s Conor Gallagher in a bid to add depth to Spurs\u2019 midfield.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Australian will surely revert to the midfield that defeated Man Utd and Bournemouth. Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr have been excellent as a pairing. James Maddison continues to shine since his big-money switch from Leicester.\u00a0<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/4939092.jpg?r=1693594715198\")
