Expected Tottenham team to face Liverpool - Pochettino to make a tactical switch at Anfield

Mauricio Pochettino must make his first team selection for three weeks as Tottenham Hotspur take on Liverpool at Anfield.

Spurs have been without a game for so long because of their FA Cup exit and the international break.

Pochettino, who will be up in the stands for the second game of his touchline ban, is without the injured Harry Winks, Eric Dier and Serge Aurier for the match against Jurgen Klopp's men.

That means the Argentine must make a decision on how his midfield looks without Winks and Dier. Victor Wanyama could come in alongside Moussa Sissoko but that pairing did not work too well in the 1-1 draw with Arsenal at Wembley.

The Kenyan's inclusion could also depend on whether Pochettino chooses to go with a back three of Toby Alderweireld, Davinson Sanchez and Jan Vertonghen to match up with Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah.

If he does then including Wanyama would mean leaving out one of Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and Son Heung-min. Leaving him out would mean Eriksen likely playing a deeper role.

Here is the team that we reckon Pochettino will go with:

(3-4-2-1) Lloris; Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen; Trippier, Sissoko, Eriksen, Rose; Son, Alli; Kane.
