Tottenham look to dominate through a high press and rapid transitions in this 4-3-3. The lineup is built to squeeze the space high up the pitch and win the ball back quickly to catch opponents out of position. This formation allows the team to play with extreme verticality, looking to hit the opposition as soon as possession is regained.

Vicario acts as the foundation in goal, sweeping behind a high line to cover long balls. The back four operates with a high line to keep the team compact. Romero provides aggression and aerial strength in the heart of the defense, working alongside Vandeven to maintain a high defensive position. On the flanks, Porro acts as an attacking full back to provide width, while Udogie pushes up to support the midfield and overlap the winger.

The midfield functions as a three-man midfield with a carrier and creators. Bissouma acts as the shield for the defense, looking to intercept play and win the second ball. Maddison operates in the left half-space to create chances and play through the lines with his passing range. Kulusevski moves from a central role into wider areas to carry the ball forward, helping to connect the defensive unit to the front line.

In the final third, Tottenham use three attackers to stretch the defense. Solanke acts as a pressing centre-forward to disrupt the opposition build up and hold up the ball for others. Son plays as an inverted winger on the left, cutting inside to find scoring opportunities with his clinical finishing. Johnson provides width on the right wing, looking to get to the byline and deliver crosses, while the forwards work together to press the opposition back line in unison.

One major advantage for Tottenham is the ability to press high in coordinated waves, making it difficult for opponents to play out from the back. The team also creates wide overloads through the movement of Porro and Udogie, which pulls the opposition defense apart. This creates space in the middle for Maddison and Kulusevski to operate in.

This 4-3-3 formation is designed for a high intensity game focused on winning the ball high up the pitch. It is best suited for facing opponents who struggle to play under pressure or those who leave large spaces behind their defensive line.
