Attacking change to hand Klopp headache – Tottenham team Conte should pick vs Liverpool

This is latest Tottenham news around the globe with much change is expected from the tottenham team as Liverpool set to receive headache over squad change.

Tottenham Hotspur need to pick up points on Saturday as they travel to Liverpool in the Premier League aiming to remain in the top four race.

Antonio Conte’s men are currently in control of their own destiny as if they were to win all four of their remaining matches they would finish in fourth place.

However, winning at Anfield would be doing something nobody else has done in the Premier League this season across 17 matches.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are also coming into the game off the back of reaching the Champions League final with an impressive comeback at Villarreal on Tuesday night.

Spurs need to get something at Liverpool as they cannot rely on fourth-place rivals Arsenal dropping points at home to struggling Leeds United.

We asked our Spurs reporters Alasdair Gold and Rob Guest to name the team they think Conte should select to start at Anfield.

Alasdair Gold – Tottenham Hotspur correspondent

There’s only one real change for Conte to make and that’s to bring Dejan Kulusevski back into the starting line-up at the expense of Lucas Moura.

The Spurs boss attempted to freshen up the attack against Leicester last weekend but Lucas struggled to make an impact. The change did work in one respect though in firing up Kulusevski who came off the bench and grabbed two assists for Son Heung-min’s goals in the 3-1 win.

Elsewhere Conte is without Sergio Reguilon, Matt Doherty, Oliver Skipp and Japhet Tanganga and that means the rest of his team pretty much picks itself.

Gold’s team: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Kane, Son.

Conte has a very simple decision to make when it comes to his Tottenham team to face Liverpool after last Sunday’s 3-1 win over Leicester City.

Raising a few eyebrows with Lucas coming into the team to take Kulusevski’s place, the Swede came on in the second half and teed up both of Son Heung-min’s goals.

Kulusevski needs to start at Anfield on Saturday evening, meaning Lucas drops down to the bench after just not having an impact on proceedings against the Foxes.

The rest of the team picks itself, with Emerson Royal deserving to start again at right wing-back and Ryan Sessegnon getting the nod on the opposite flank with Sergio Reguilon out injured.

Guest’s team: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Kane, Son.
