After a close 3-2 defeat at the hands of Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur faced another blow in their Champions League hopes. They faced a two-goal loss against Chelsea and dropped three vital points yet again. They are fifth in the points table, seven points off the fourth position.
Spurs will next lock horns with Liverpool in an away Premier League fixture this weekend. They will aim to return to winning ways to at least hold the Europa League berth. A crucial couple of weeks awaits for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
4-2-3-1 Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup Vs Liverpool
Defence
Guglielmo Vicario had no chance to stop both the goals against Chelsea. He will be deployed between the sticks without any second thought. Right-back Pedro Porro didn’t perform up to his standards but is unlikely to face any consequences for this game.
With limited options to pick from, boss Ange Postecoglou might not prefer changing any of Cristian Romero or Micky van de Ven from the defence. Emerson Royal is also likely to continue as the left-back ahead of Radu Dragusin.
Midfield
While Yves Bissouma should be retained, Rodrigo Bentancur is expected to walk into the XI at the cost of Pape Sarr. Both Oliver Skipp and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg are again starting on the bench.
Expect James Maddison to be recalled to operate in the middle with Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson deployed on the flanks.
Attack
Son Heung-min didn’t have a good game on Thursday and should be authorized to play higher on the pitch. It means that Richarlison will be sent to the bench.
Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring), Manor Solomon (knee), Destiny Udogie (thigh), Fraser Forster (foot), Timo Werner (hamstring) and Ben Davies (calf) are the confirmed absentees for Spurs for this high-voltage clash on Sunday.
