Tottenham will play Liverpool this weekend in an attempt to maintain their unblemished start to the Premier League season.
The north London club has been fantastic so far, but they will face a significant test on Saturday evening when Jurgen Klopp‘s Liverpool visit.
However, as Ange Postecoglou has demonstrated this season, he is not one to back down from a challenge, and he will approach this game as he has every previous encounter.
Indeed, the Australian will want to win this game convincingly, but he must also be aware of the threats offered by this Liverpool team.
With that in mind, we attempted to forecast Tottenham’s starting XI for this game.
This is the Tottenham XI we’ve grown accustomed to seeing recently.
The backline is the same as it was against Arsenal, while there are no alterations in the midfield.
James Maddison was an injury question heading into this match, but he appears to be fit enough to start, and if there is one player Postecoglou should be taking this kind of chance on, it’s the England international.
The attack is where things become interesting.
Because Brennan Johnson is out with an injury, the Spurs will be forced to make a change in that position.
Manor Solomon is an option, but we believe Heung-Min Son should move to the left wing and Richarlison should come in up front after his heroic performance against Sheffield United a fortnight ago, while the £22 million man moves to the left flank to take on either Joe Gomez or Trent Alexander-Arnold.
This should be a wonderful game between two in-form teams, and it will be intriguing to see who wins.
