Tottenham Team update and starting team vs Liverpool

Starting 11 vs. Liverpool

Spurs are still in a pretty good place considering the litany of injuries they have to cope with. Son Heung-Min makes his Premier League return after missing three. He’ll have to be at his best for Spurs to have any hope of picking up a share of the spoils. He must be lethal on the counter and drive at the heart of Liverpool’s rearguard, testing the theory that the Reds have the best back four in Europe.

Dele Alli supports Son in the No. 10 role while Lucas Moura and Erik Lamela complete the front quartet. Giovani Lo Celso played well enough in his cameo appearance against Middlesbrough to stake his claim on the starting team. Though I feel he’ll just miss out and be resigned to the bench. However, the surging Argentine will invariably be Mourinho’s first option if things aren’t working.

Harry Winks and Eric Dier reunite in midfield. This is their chance to show Mourinho they’re capable of excelling against the best side in Europe. It will be interesting to see how they cope with the most potent attack in England. Let’s hope Dier isn’t running in quicksand, as he’ll be badly exposed if that’s the case.

I’ll have a fit if Davinson Sánchez doesn’t start. His quickness is badly needed to combat the pace of Sadio Mane and Mo Salah. Toby, Jan and Serge complete the back four.

Do you think Lo Celso deserves the start and will Mourinho give Sánchez the nod? What team would you employ against the Premier League frontrunners?
