Tottenham Hotspur head into the final weeks of the season knowing that they will finish fourth if they win all of their remaining games.

However, sadly for Spurs, that’s easier said than done.

Indeed, if Tottenham are to win all of their remaining matches, they’ll have to do what no other team has managed so far this term – beat Liverpool at Anfield.

Beating the Reds at Anfield is an almost impossible task these days, but after Spurs upset the odds against Manchester City twice this season, we know better than to write this team off.

One thing is for sure though, Tottenham will need to be at their best to get a result here, and with that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting their starting XI for this game.

We think that Antonio Conte will make just one change from the side that beat Leicester City last weekend.

Dejan Kulusevski comes in for Lucas Moura, and other than that, it’s the exact same side that took on the Foxes last weekend.

Sergio Reguilon is out injured, so 22-year-old Ryan Sessegnon is tasked with marshalling Spurs’ left-flank, and that means that he’ll have to keep tabs on Mohamed Salah.

Sessegnon did a grand job of keeping Salah quiet in the reverse fixture, but facing the Egyptian at Anfield may be a different task entirely.

Harry Kane leads the line, but all eyes will surely once again be on Heung-Min Son as he chases Salah down in the race for the Golden Boot.
