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.

GAMEWEEK 18 LINE-UPS

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

Subs: Austin, Rodon, Bergwijn, Lo Celso, Skipp, Tanganga, Reguilon, Moura, Doherty

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Matip, Robertson, Morton, Milner, Keita, Salah, Mane, Jota

Subs: Kelleher, Williams, Minamino, Firmino, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gomez, Tsimikas, Gordon, Quansah

    Endangering safety. Gone

  2. Londongeezaa
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Standard of referring and VAR is appalling

  3. Duke Silver ☑

    Tsimi time baby. 3.7m

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

    2 wrongs don’t make a right

    Both are a red card

    My honest opinion

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Agreed.

  5. Zalk
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    So Kane's isn't red but Robbo´s is? I thought the decision was on the intention not the result?

  6. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    But is it one game or three he'll miss?

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

      3

    2. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Straight red is 3, unless they can appeal it and get lesser.

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

        No straight red isn't 3. Red for dangerous tackle is 3.

  7. mojoindojo
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Kane was redder than that...

  8. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Bye bye Robertson

  9. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Rollercoaster for Robertson owners there

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

    Hahah Robbo has been on a tear.since returning indeed.

  11. Hooky
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    What a joke VAR is

  12. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    It's quite entertaining owning Robertson.

  13. EDUARDO DA SILVA
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Almost posted 'if that was xhaka'...

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Lucky for all of us common sense prevailed

  14. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    So if that’s a red, why wasn’t harry Kane’s?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Nationalities.

    2. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Unfortunately

  16. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    So why wasn’t Kane’s a red?

    1. vincentwsho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Same question

    2. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Absolute Fraud

  17. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    thats no more of a sending off than the Kane one on Robertson. What an utter disgrace

  18. Goodfeathers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Kane should have gone as well if that’s a red.

  19. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Lol Robertson red

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

    Tsimikas 3.7.

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      but how many games - just 1?

  21. DandyDon
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Don’t understand the ref there. No way that’s worse than Kane challenge in 1st half!

  22. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Kane still on the pitch and Robbo off. I sense favouritism

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Home crowd support.

      Helps a lot at Anfield too.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Robbo’s not English

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Both reds. Robertson more blatant. Right game though, good hitting

    4. Lord of Ings
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Stop whining lol seriously
      Got lucky with the second goal it was Salah handball just move on

    5. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Both should have been red but Robertson’s was a worse tackle

      1. Lord of Ings
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Absolutely but he’s been whining the goal game but obviously won’t bring up the fact it was a Salah handball in the second goal

  23. Vlad Tepes
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Lol Kane should not be in the pitch to. What a horrible ref, missed a clear pen on Jota to, joke.

  24. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Tsimi is not worth the faff.
