Dugout Discussion

Spurs v Liverpool team news: Spence starts, Johnson + Jota subs

22 December 2024 1182 comments

avfc82

Tottenham Hotspur host Liverpool on Sunday afternoon in the final match of Gameweek 17.

Ange Postecoglou’s side came up trumps in a 5-0 win at Southampton last week, while Liverpool were held to an entertaining 2-2 draw by Fulham.

Kick-off is at 16:30 GMT.

As for the team news, Postecoglou names an unchanged side from the 4-3 win over Manchester United in the EFL Cup quarter-final.

That means Djed Spence gets another start at left-back, with Destiny Udogie and Brennan Johnson having to settle for places on the bench.

Arne Slot’s only alteration from Liverpool’s last Premier League game sees Alexis Mac Allister return to the starting XI and oust Curtis Jones.

Diogo Jota is again named as a substitute.

LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Forster, Porro, Gray, Dragusin, Spence, Sarr, Bissouma, Kulusevski, Maddison, Son, Solanke

Subs: Austin, Reguilon, Udogie, Dorrington, Bergvall, Olusesi, Werner, Johnson, Lankshear

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Diaz

Subs: Kelleher, Endo, Nunez, Jones, Elliott, Jota, Tsimikas, Quansah, Nyoni

I did Greaves saka and Cunha out for Gabriel Amad and Isak for -4 in a total state of fpl panic at 01:29 due to price changes. Nothing I can do now but do you think they are good moves?

  Yeah I'd say so
  
  Saka likely out for a handful of GWs
  Cunha fixture turn but he may keep doing well, but Isak is clear

  I'd like to know if Cunha gets banned before he plays M. Utd, but other than that the moves make perfect sense.

    Yes it would be annoying if he plays which is why I am regretting it a bit but there is a possible.0.3/0.4 price swing with these moves. Cheers

No chance I’m getting United player in for Saka.

Maddison and Kulusevski are ticking along nicely though…
