Tottenham confirmed team vs Liverpool - Rodrigo Bentancur in, James Maddison and Richarlison subs
Ange Postecoglou has made one change to his Tottenham team for Sunday afternoon's Premier League clash against Liverpool. In action on Thursday night away at Chelsea, Spurs slipped to a third successive defeat in the league after Mauricio Pochettino's team registered a 2-0 win.
The defeat now means that Tottenham have quite the challenge on their hands if they are to join Liverpool in next season's Champions League. Following such a dismal showing at Stamford Bridge with Spurs barely laying a glove on Chelsea, Postecoglou has tinkered with his starting XI as he bids to bring an end to their recent poor run of form.
Guglielmo Vicario, as ever, starts in goal, with the head coach keeping faith with a back four of Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Emerson Royal. The 58-year-old has mixed things up in midfield, however.
Starting with a midfield trio of Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr and Dejan Kulusevski at Chelsea, the trio once again start but Rodrigo Bentancur comes into midfield with Kulusevski pushing into attack. James Maddison, who was dropped from the starting XI on Thursday night, remains on the bench
In attack, Postecoglou has named Kulusevski, Son Heung-min and Brennan Johnson as his front three. Mikey Moore once again retains his position on the substitutes' bench after taking his place in the matchday squad at Chelsea.
Today's game will see Jurgen Klopp take charge of his penultimate game at Anfield before departing Liverpool at the end of the campaign. Postecoglou only had praise for his counterpart when speaking in his pre-match press conference on Friday.
