Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham face double suspension risk after yellow cards in Liverpool win

The Premier League table makes for very good reading for Tottenham fans at present following Saturday's late 2-1 victory over Liverpool. Earning all three points in the dying seconds of the contest after Joel Matip put Pedro Porro's cross through his own net, Spurs now sit second in the Premier League table after seven games.

Only a single point behind league leaders Man City, the Lilywhites will move to the summit of the league on Saturday providing they win at Luton Town in the early kick-off. With Pep Guardiola's team travelling to Arsenal the following day, there is the possibility that Spurs go into the second international break of the season top of the league if the result goes their way.

First of all, though, Tottenham have to make sure they record a sixth league victory of the campaign by beating newly-promoted Luton Town. Ange Postecoglou's men will be the outright favourites to win at Kenilworth Road but it will be a tough fixture with the Hatters registering their first Premier League win at Everton last time out.

Yves Bissouma will go into Saturday's match in Bedfordshire walking the disciplinary tightrope after picking up his fourth yellow card of the season in the 2-1 win against Liverpool. His caution against the Reds means he is now one yellow card away from a one-match ban.

Premier League rules state that «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». Unless the Mali international can curb his tendency to pick up a yellow card after receiving one in four of the team's first seven Premier League fixtures of the 2023/24 campaign, it does look like Postecoglou and Spurs will have to do without him for one game at
