Tottenham XI vs Liverpool: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Premier League
@Source: standard.co.uk
Ange Postecoglou faces some big decisions over his Tottenham team to play Liverpool.
Spurs have the first leg of their Europa League semi-final first leg against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday and Postecoglou faces a difficult balancing act.
Postecoglou is likely to continue to rotate his squad but some first-team players will need minutes after sitting out against Nottingham Forest on Monday night.
Lucas Bergvall, James Maddison, Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson, all of whom are likely to start for Spurs against the Norwegian side, could feature at Anfield, with Liverpool needing a point to wrap up the league title.
Postecoglou could nonetheless make wholesale changes to his backline between the games, with key centre-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven likely to be kept on ice.
Archie Gray could come in at right-back, giving Pedro Porro a rest, while there is little to choose between left-backs Djed Spence and Destiny Udogie.
Heung-min Son is sidelined with a foot injury but trained outdoors on Friday, and is touch-and-go to face Bodo.
If he is not fit, Mathys Tel could start in the South Korean's place again, while Wilson Odobert, Richarlison and Mikey Moore are among Postecoglou's options from the left against Liverpool.
Radu Dragusin (knee) remains sidelined long-term but Kevin Danso is pushing for his first start since suffering a hamstring injury in March.
"We don't really have injury problems," Postecoglou said on Friday. "Obviously Sonny's the one that's kind of working, trying to work his way back, and he's improving, which is positive for us, not for Sunday.
“Apart from obviously the longer-term ones, everyone else from the last game has backed up really well, so the rest of the squad’s fit and available, and in terms of team selection we'll see. We’ve got another 48 hours to decide which way we go."
Predicted Tottenham XI (4-3-3): Vicario; Gray, Danso, Davies, Udogie; Bergvall, Sarr, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Odobert
Injured: Son, Dragusin
