Ange Postecoglou has named his Tottenham Hotspur side which will take to the field in this evening’s Premier League clash against Liverpool.
Tottenham have been sweating on the fitness of both James Maddison and Brennan Johnson after both were forced off in Sunday’s North London Derby draw at Arsenal.
The Reds have an excellent record against Spurs and come into today’s game unbeaten in 17 league games, a record stretching back to last season, while Ange Postecoglou is looking to see his side avoid defeat in their opening seven top-flight fixtures.

This is Tottenham’s toughest test of the season at home, having already faced Manchester United and Sheffield United in N17.
Jurgen Klopp‘s side possesses a danger in attack through Mo Salah and Luis Diaz, however, the man who they most look to contain is Dominik Szoboszlai, the Hungarian midfielder has enjoyed an impressive start to life at Liverpool since joining this summer.
