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

    I wonder how many people got Robbo in during this game lol

  2. WVA
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Son to grab the winner

  3. Chrisitis
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    2 games in PL only

  4. BIG TONES
    • 11 Years

    Not a straight red card imo, but not complaining as a non owner

  5. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Robertson becoming easy to ignore

  6. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    This game needs Reguilon.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Why isn't he on ffs

    3.7m defender coming into my team.

  8. Utopsis
    • 6 Years

    Tsimikas, let's go!

    What a bent league. England captain survives but Scotland captain gets sent off for a less dangerous tackle.

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      “Less dangerous” yeah mate sure.

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Robbo clattered him. Kane's was a leg breaker. Big difference

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      It was mistake mate, people make them

    3. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Poor ref decision but not sure it has anything to do with nationality funnily enough. From a Scotsman

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Does Robertson keep his goal & assist despite being sent off?

    1. TKC07
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Will be given to Salah..

    2. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No. His goal and assist get re-assigned to Kane.

    3. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years

      Robertson has been deleted from this timeline. It's Trent's goal now.

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I don't think Robbo was particularly hard done by - it was clumsy. It's the special treatment for the England captain

    4. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Assist to Laca surely

  11. DycheDycheBaby
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Give Robbo the bonus points yasss pahaha

  12. Miniboss
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    So Robbo is back by Chelsea match?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Carabao Cup in there too.

      1. Miniboss
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        yup, calculated that in. Just not sure if it's 3 match ban or something else?

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Think so. League Cup. But depends on postponements.

      Tsimikas isn't a bad deputy at all.

      1. Miniboss
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He's good indeed. Would come to my team if it wasn't for Salah, Jota & TAA

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Just know Kane is scoring the winner

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      *Salah

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Time to sell Salah to free up a Tsimikas spot.

    1. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Big brain move

  15. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is that 1 or 3 match ban for Robertson?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      3, includes Carabao.

  16. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Glut of TAA to Tsimikas posts incoming...

  17. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I might get Tsimi in for Henry 😎

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No Jota?

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Sold Salah for KDB

  18. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    YC? 100%. Red? Not in my books. If that's a red, Kane was too.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      It should have been.

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

      Kane one was clear red
      This one is on border
      Once more english refs prove they just dont know what sport they are in

  19. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    You can't work the the logic of VAR's decisions, because VAR does not make logical decisions.

    1. Randaxus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      work out*

  20. Pino

    Great game

  21. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Salah has been non existent

  22. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Tsimikas on
    Mane off

  23. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Tsimikas looks like he's got omicron

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He's always up playing FIFA to all hours I reckon.

  24. FPL Daniel

    Congratulations to Manchester City and another title …

    Next year with Kane they will be unstoppable .

    All is left to watch out about top 4, the title race is done and dusted, you wanna admit it or not

  25. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    The Kane one was worse. Both should've seen red.

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      This.

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Kane went for the ball, kinda! Robertson kicked to kill.

    3. Eze Really?
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      For sure

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Correct

  26. WVA
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Get Reguil on

  27. GreennRed
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Where did Spurs find the lad with the dreads?!!!

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      In Ziggy Marleys toilet.

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Nice one! He played OK for a lad that's finished and out the door next month. Hopefully he stays and gets back to his best.
