Here is the Tottenham team we believe Ange Postecoglou will select for Sunday’s Premier League encounter against Liverpool at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Tottenham will be looking to give their supporters the perfect present ahead of Christmas by getting the better of Liverpool on Sunday evening. Fresh from wins over Southampton and Manchester United, Ange Postecoglou‘s men will be intent on delivering the Reds a hammer blow in the title race.
Both games between the teams last season were crackers and this one promises to be no different at all. Amid Tottenham’s mixed form in the league, they do score goals for fun and have in fact outscored Sunday’s opponents by five in the Premier League this season.
The north London club really do need to find some consistency in the league as they cannot afford to fall even further behind the top four going into the second half of the campaign. This weekend’s game against Liverpool presents a real challenge, though, as the Merseyside club have made big strides under the guidance of new boss Arne Slot.
Spurs will once again have to do with a number of key players through injury, with Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Richarlison and Wilson Odobert just some of those in the treatment room right now. Rodrigo Bentancur will again be missing through suspension but the Liverpool fixture is the last game of his seven-match domestic ban.
So how will Tottenham line up in the 4:30pm kick-off? You can find our predicted Spurs team below:
Goalkeeper – Fraser Forster
Fraser Forster will be determined to deliver a big display after his two errors in the win over Manchester United.
Right-back – Pedro Porro
Pedro Porro, as ever, will start at right-back.
Centre-back – Radu Dragusin
Radu Dragusin will make his 18th Tottenham appearance of the season on Sunday.
Centre-back – Archie Gray
Archie Gray has performed so well at centre-back recently but this will be his biggest test in the position by some distance.
Left-back – Destiny Udogie
Destiny Udogie looks to be in a position to return after his absence in midweek and it will come at the expense of Djed Spence.
Central midfield – Yves Bissouma
Yves Bissouma was excellent in the Manchester United win and Tottenham need more of the same against Liverpool.
Central midfield – Pape Matar Sarr
Pape Matar Sarr is an automatic pick in the Tottenham team right now.
Central midfield – Dejan Kulusevsk
Dejan Kulusevski could be set to move back into midfield after playing on the right-wing in the past two games.
Right-wing – Brennan Johnson
Brennan Johnson has started the past two games on the bench for Tottenham but he could come in this weekend to give the side some fresh legs.
Striker – Dominic Solanke
Dominic Solanke was a standout player in Tottenham’s midweek win and his teammates need to ensure they supply him with chances on goal.
Left-wing – Son Heung-min
Son Heung-min has scored in his past two Tottenham games and he will be desperate to extend that run.
