Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglu won’t likely field a weakened first team when his side visits Anfield on Sunday. You’ll see the usual starters versus Liverpool FC, but when the second half comes along, expect lots of subs. Postecoglu needs to keep one eye on Thursday’s Europa League semifinal tie, first leg, with Bodo/Glimt.
Spurs are still playing for a trophy in Europe, so that comes first on the priority list. Domestically, what happens this weekend is irrelevant to them.

Liverpool are champions-elect. All they need here is a draw or better to be officially crowned champions. Even if they don’t get that last single point here, they will still have four more matches left after this weekend to obtain it. It is a foregone conclusion- Tottenham’s North London rivals will finish as runners-up in the league for the third straight season.
