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.

  12. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

      Whatta hell are the VAR refs smoking??

  13. Scots Gooner

    1. Grand Thibauto

      There has to be a limit to being biased

  15. BIGREDDOG

  16. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

  17. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Replays make it seem like a pen to me. Weird

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Literally not even a half played

  19. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Stonewall penalty I thought!

  20. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Hot take: David de Gea is currently a better goal keeper than Allison.

  21. zon

    Wtf VAR

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Klopp yellow

  23. BobbyDoesNotLook

    Ref is clueless today.

      Br Pool fan

  24. @ocprodigy

    Refusing to bring in Jota is why I’m so rubbish at this game this season.

    1. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Correction - one of the many reasons. After taking out Raph for Bowen. Not my season…

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        That was a good decision tbf. Raphs been the embodiment of luck for a while now.

  25. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    So you can push in the box but not outside or?

  26. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    How's son playing?

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I own so missing all his chances

  27. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I’m done with VAR. How in the world is that not a pen. How in the world is Kane not off. Can’t believe this

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Var is pointless

    2. Lord of Ings
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Couple of dodgy decisions but Kane was onside

    3. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yep

  28. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Klopp should be off talking to the poor ref like that

  29. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Klopp cappers in the mud
