Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino addressed the media during his pre-match press conference today, and provided an injury update, ruling three Spurs players out of Sunday’s trip to Liverpool, as quoted by Football.London.

Spurs currently sit in third spot in the Premier League table, just one point ahead of bitter rivals Arsenal, and a further two in front of fifth placed Manchester United.

Tottenham have been in woeful form in the Premier League recently, taking just one point from their last four games, so Sunday’s clash with Liverpool could be pivotal to their hopes of finishing inside the top four.

And it seems as though Spurs will have to make do without some of their key players for the game at Anfield.

Pochettino spoke to reporters today, and ruled Eric Dier, Harry Winks and Serge Aurier out of the game against Liverpool, as quoted by Football.London:

Raphael Guerreiro (2nd R) of Borussia Dortmund in action against Eric Dier (R), Harry Winks (29) and Serge Aurier (2nd L) of Tottenham Hotspur FC during the UEFA Champions League Group H...

“Eric Dier is out. It’s not a big issue. Him, Harry Winks and Serge Aurier are going to be out for the game.”

Tottenham do have plenty of options in reserve, however, and whatever team Pochettino picks will be more than capable of taking a positive result away from Anfield.

With Liverpool in desperate need of all three points for very different reasons, however, Spurs will certainly still have their work cut-out.
