Tottenham Hotspur take on Liverpool in the final Premier League match of Gameweek 18, with kick-off in North London at 16:30 GMT.

In the absence of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Antonio Conte opts for a new central midfield pairing of Harry Winks and Tanguy Ndombele, with Dele Alli – who starts his first Premier League game under the Italian – perhaps featuring further forward.

Elsewhere, Sergio Reguilon is only deemed fit enough for a place on the bench, with Ryan Sessegnon taking the left wing-back role.

At Liverpool, Thiago Alcantara has returned a suspected positive Covid-19 test and misses out, as does Jordan Henderson due to illness (not Covid). That means Tyler Morton makes a surprise start, alongside James Milner and Naby Keita in the Reds’ engine room.

Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Diogo Jota are all deployed up top in Jurgen Klopp’s 4-3-3 formation, with Roberto Firmino a substitute.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Sanchez, Dier, Davies, Royal, Winks, Ndombele,Sessegnon, Alli, Son, Kane

    Game mostly on Mane's side, not much near Salah unfortunately.

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      That's why they're not scoring. I get it now

    2. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It's cause Davies has man marked him really well the entirety of the match

  8. The Philosopher

    4 years, 2 months ago

    Firmino coming on should open spaces for Salah around the box.

  9. BIG TONES
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    2. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Conte is the second coming of Mourinho with the way he is operating spurs so far, that do mean he will be getting results

  13. JBG
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Conte doesn't want anyone creating through the middle anymore it seems. Prefers two headless chickens.

    1. Randaxus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Skipp is underrated

  14. Motong-Moting
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    What is the differentiating factor if my cup rivals scores the same net points as me? Is it still the number of goals?

  15. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Deli Alli's hair looks edible lol

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years

        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago
