Expected Tottenham Line-up vs. Liverpool: £30m Star Starts, De Zerbi Makes 3 Changes
Tottenham Hotspur faces Liverpool at Anfield tonight in the Carabao Cup third round. After significant summer investment to rebuild the squad for Roberto De Zerbi, Spurs have had a slow start to the season, sitting 17th in the league with no Premier League goals scored yet.
Team News
Dejan Kulusevski and Pedro Porro are unavailable due to injuries. Wilson Odobert and Xavi Simons will also miss out with knee issues. Mykhailo Mudryk is out with his own injury. Destiny Udogie is available for selection after missing the previous weekend's match. Roberto De Zerbi has stated Richarlison will not play in either the Premier League or Carabao Cup, regardless of fitness.
Predicted Line-up
Antonin Kinsky will likely remain in goal, with Jan Paul van Hecke continuing at centre-back. Marcos Senesi could partner him, allowing Micky Van de Ven a rest. With Porro out, the £30m-rated Archie Gray is expected to play at right-back, while Andrew Robertson will feature on the left flank against his former club.
Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes are anticipated as the midfield pivot. Conor Gallagher is likely to play as the attacking midfielder. Rodrigo Bentancur, Lucas Bergvall, and James Maddison may come on as substitutes. Savio's recent form could see him start on the right wing, with Mathys Tel on the left. Mohammed Kudus might be a substitute option. Omar Marmoush is expected to lead the attack, with Dominic Solanke starting on the bench.
Expected Tottenham XI vs. Liverpool:
Kinsky; Gray, Van Hecke, Senesi, Robertson; Tonali, Fernandes, Gallagher; Savio, Marmoush, Tel
