Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou risk double blow as they head to Kenilworth Road for Luton game

Tottenham midfielder Yves BIssouma is walking a tightrope when the team travels to Kenilworth Road road to take on newly promoted side Luton Town this weekend.

The Mali international picked up a yellow card late in the game against Liverpool which means he has now picked up four yellow cards and the next one will rule him out of Tottenham’s next game.

The Premier League rule says: “Any player earning five bookings from his side’s first 19 Premier League matches will have to serve a one-match ban in the same competition”. 

The next yellow which could come against Luton would result in the 27-year-old sitting out Spurs’ home fixture against Fulham on Monday, October 23.

Tottenham have some big fixtures coming up against Chelsea and Aston Villa in November, as well as Man City and Newcastle United so the next few games will be very interesting for Bissouma who has made more interceptions than any other midfielder in the league after seven games.

The start to the season for Spurs is one of the best they have had in more than five decades and they could go into the international break top of the Premier League if they win at Luton and Manchester City fail to take all three points against Arsenal on Sunday.

Tottenham captain Son Heung-min also scored his 200th goal in Europe against Liverpool and will now look to add to his tally against the Hatters who lost to Burnley at home.
