Tottenham lineup vs. Liverpool: Predicted XI for Premier League clash as Son Heung-min status confirmed

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that Son Heung-min remains unavailable for Sunday's Premier League contest with Liverpool at Anfield.

The Lilywhites must win on Merseyside to delay the Reds' title celebrations that little bit longer, but they must do so without their captain, who is still on the mend from a foot problem.

Son is one of two absentees in the Tottenham ranks alongside long-term ACL victim Radu Dragusin, but the North Londoners suffered no fresh blows during their 2-1 loss to Nottingham Forest on Monday.

Postecoglou unsurprisingly rotated his resources for the visit of the Garibaldi after the Europa League quarter-finals, but the Australian ought to revert to his strongest possible XI for a daunting jaunt to Anfield.

Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven were both withdrawn early against Forest, but the duo will be given the green light to start this one, while Destiny Udogie should also return after a complete rest.

The same can be said of James Maddison, who is primed to join Lucas Bergvall and Rodrigo Bentancur in the middle of the park, an alteration that could push Dejan Kulusevski into the right-wing spot.

The Swede should be part of a new-look front three this weekend, as Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson can be expected to displace Richarlison and Mathys Tel too.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bergvall, Bentancur, Maddison; Kulusevski, Solanke, Johnson
