Tottenham vs Liverpool predictions: Tottenham Line-up
Tottenham will travel to Anfield to face Liverpool on Sunday in what is expected to be an intense battle in the Premier League.
Spurs have been dragged into the fight for a top-four finish after a poor run, and need a result to stay on track for Champions League qualification. Mauricio Pochettino will expect his team to bounce back at Anfield after suffering defeat at Southampton before the international break.
As far as Liverpool are concerned, the Merseysiders will look to maintain their place at the top of the table by beating Tottenham on Sunday.

Probable Tottenham XI
Formation: 3-4-1-2
Manager: Mauricio Pochettino
Hugo Lloris (GK)
Lloris has to be at the top of his game to keep Liverpool away from scoring at the weekend.
Toby Alderweireld (RCB)
Regarded as one of the best defenders in the Premier League, Alderweireld will be certain to start at Anfield.
Davinson Sanchez (CB)
Sanchez hasn’t had the best of seasons, yet he is a crucial cog in Spurs’ three-man backline.
Jan Vertonghen (LCB)
Vertonghen is a colossus at the back for Tottenham and he’ll look to keep the Liverpool attackers at bay.
Kieran Trippier (RWB)
With Aurier a big doubt for the game, Trippier is likely to start at right wing-back on Sunday.
Moussa Sissoko (CM)
The Frenchman has been a strong presence in the midfield, bringing a lot of bite and energy. He is probably one of the first names on Pochettino’s team-sheet.
Victor Wanyama (CM)
With Dier injured, Wanyama will be given the nod for taking the responsibility of screening the backline. The Kenyan scored a cracker last time out at Anfield and will be raring to get himself on the score-sheet this time around as well.
Danny Rose (LWB)
Rose hasn’t been consistent throughout the season. Yet, the Englishman is expected to play this weekend.
Christian Eriksen (CAM)
Against a well-drilled Liverpool defence, Eriksen will have to be at his creative best to pierce the hosts’ backline on Sunday.

Harry Kane (RS)
Kane has been in good scoring form since coming back from injury. He is an undoubted starter at Anfield.
Son Heung-min (LS)
His burst of pace, movement and direct approach with the ball may give the Liverpool defenders a tough time at the weekend. He’ll be eager to break his drought on Sunday.
