Tottenham's defence Injury crisis This has led to a few goals being scored in recent weeks and they will be without Guglielmo Vicario, Ben Davies, Christian Romero and Micky van de Ven for Sunday's game. However, Destiny Udoji, who missed the midweek win over Manchester United, should be fit according to Ange Postecoglou.
Rodrigo Bentancur continues to serve his seven-match ban and will watch from the sidelines with Wilson Odubert, Richarlison and Mickey Moore. Timo Werner missed the Carabao Cup match due to illness but is expected to feature in the clash against Liverpool.
The expected formation of Tottenham against Liverpool (4-2-3-1):Forrester; Boro, Dragosin, Gray, Udoji; Sar, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Madison, Jr.; Solanki.
List of Liverpool injuries Relatively short but they are missing several key defenders as well. Connor Bradley and Ibrahim Konate will be unavailable on Sunday, with the latter's absence causing issues in recent matches.
Andy Robertson will be available for Sunday's trip to north London despite being sent off against Fulham last weekend. The left-back served a one-match ban in midweek in the Carabao Cup, but faces a battle for his starting place with the returning Kostas Tsimikas.
Liverpool made wholesale changes against Southampton, resting the likes of Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch and Mohamed Salah. They should be relatively well rested before the clash with Tottenham.
Liverpool's expected formation against Tottenham (4-2-3-1):alison; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, McAlister; Salah, Jones, Diaz; Gota.
If the recent matches between Spurs and the league's top hitters are anything to go by, we'll be in for a treat on Sunday. The goals are likely to come in large quantities, as evidenced by Spurs' recent 4-3 clashes with Chelsea and Manchester United on home soil.
Spurs' makeshift back five, including Fraser Forster who made two disastrous errors in midweek, will be stretched by Liverpool's formidable attacking line. In particular, Mohamed Salah is set to continue his impressive record against the Lilywhites, where he has scored 12 goals in 20 previous meetings.
Tottenham have a wealth of attacking talent, and their lively style always causes problems for opponents looking to play up front. However, Liverpool must have the confidence, knowledge and quality to face a tough test in north London.
