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, 2 months ago

    Son to grab the winner

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

    2 games in PL only

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

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

  5. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Robertson becoming easy to ignore

  6. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    This game needs Reguilon.

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

      Why isn't he on ffs

  7. bitm2007

    3.7m defender coming into my team.

  8. Utopsis
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Tsimikas, let's go!

  9. Jet5605

    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, 2 months ago

      “Less dangerous” yeah mate sure.

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

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

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It was mistake mate, people make them

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

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

    1. TKC07
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Will be given to Salah..

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

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

    3. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

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

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

        Assist to Laca surely

    5. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Give Robbo the bonus points yasss pahaha

    6. Miniboss
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      So Robbo is back by Chelsea match?

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

        Carabao Cup in there too.

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

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

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

        Think so. League Cup. But depends on postponements.

        Tsimikas isn't a bad deputy at all.

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

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

    7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years

      Just know Kane is scoring the winner

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

        *Salah

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

      Time to sell Salah to free up a Tsimikas spot.

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

        Big brain move

    9. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Is that 1 or 3 match ban for Robertson?

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

        3, includes Carabao.

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

      Glut of TAA to Tsimikas posts incoming...

    11. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I might get Tsimi in for Henry 😎

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

        No Jota?

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Sold Salah for KDB

    12. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 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, 2 months ago

        It should have been.

      2. JJO
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 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

    13. Randaxus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

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

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

        work out*

    14. Pino

      Great game

    15. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Salah has been non existent

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

      Tsimikas on
      Mane off

    17. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Tsimikas looks like he's got omicron

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

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

    18. 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

    19. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

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

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

        This.

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

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

      3. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        For sure

      4. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Correct

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

      Get Reguil on

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

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

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

        In Ziggy Marleys toilet.

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 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.

    23. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago
