There is the possibility Ange Postecoglou switches things up slightly when it comes to his Tottenham team for the Europa League final. After a long campaign in Europe after kicking things off back in September, .

As has been the case across the whole season, the Australian has a couple of injuries to deal with ahead of the biggest game of his tenure. Influential duo and Dejan Kulusevski are in no position to play and the same goes for .

Given that we have seen Tottenham's midfield options limited over the past couple of weeks due to the latest batch of injuries to hit the club, it could possibly lead to changing his formation for the match at San Mames Stadium. So what exactly could he do? football.london takes a look below.

4-3-3

There are question marks over whether Postecoglou will stick with a 4-3-3 formation given he has lost midfielders Bergvall, Maddison and Kulusevski recently. The boss still has options to continue with his preferred setup and it may be who profits if that is the case.

The Senegalese ace would join Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma in the middle of the park and give Tottenham bundles of energy in the middle. He has also enjoyed his previous outings against Man Utd and that may work in Postecoglou's favour.

If Sarr is to come in then it could be bad news for one of or on the left-wing. The Spurs captain has proved his fitness levels in the past two games seem to indicate that he is saving Richarlison for the final.

4-4-2

One way to accommodate both Richarlison and Son in the starting XI would be to go with a 4-4-2 formation. That way Son could operate from the left flank and the Brazilian start alongside in attack.

Bentancur and Bissouma would be the midfield two in this scenario, with Brennan Johnson and Son either side of them. It may not be a setup we have regularly seen but Postecoglou does have the players at his disposal to start like this if he wants.

4-2-3-1

A 4-2-3-1 formation is also something for Postecoglou to consider as he has choice when it comes to the No.10 role. Going with the players named above, Solanke could drop slightly deeper and allow Richarlison to be the lone striker in the system.

If Postecoglou wants Solanke leading the line, Son could play as a No.10 and that could see one of Richarlison or Mathys Tel start from the left. after struggling in the Crystal Palace defeat.

is certainly a candidate for the role but it will all come down to Postecoglou's thinking.

3-4-3/3-5-2

Finally, could we see the boss select a back three for the biggest game of the season? with the team just not used to the system.

would be the player to come in and partner Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven in this scenario, thus allowing Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie to push even higher and have more of an influence in the final third. It would then be a question of whether Postecoglou would select three in midfield and two up front or two in midfield with that extra attacking player.
