Tottenham predicted team vs Liverpool: Conte makes key attacking change to cause Klopp problems

Tottenham Hotspur will have to be at their very best on Saturday as they travel to Liverpool in the Premier League aiming to remain in the top four race.

Antonio Conte's men are currently in control of their own destiny as if they can win all four of their remaining matches they would finish in fourth place. However, taking home all three points at Anfield on Saturday evening would be doing something nobody else in the Premier League has achieved this season across the Reds' 17 home matches.

Jurgen Klopp's side are coming into the game off the back of reaching the Champions League final following their second leg comeback at Villarreal on Tuesday night. Spurs will feel they need to get something at Liverpool as they cannot rely on fourth-placed Arsenal dropping points at home to struggling Leeds United.

Conte is likely to bring Dejan Kulusevski back into the starting line-up at the expense of Lucas Moura in order to hand Liverpool more problems. The Spurs boss attempted to freshen up the attack against Leicester last weekend but Lucas struggled to make an impact.

The change did work in one respect though in firing up Kulusevski who came off the bench and grabbed two assists for Son Heung-min's goals in the 3-1 win. Elsewhere Conte is without Sergio Reguilon, Matt Doherty, Oliver Skipp and Japhet Tanganga and that means the rest of his team pretty much picks itself.

Here is the Tottenham team we're expected to see at Anfield:

3-4-3: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Kane, Son.
