Roberto De Zerbi shared team news for Tottenham ahead of the trip to Liverpool in midweek.
·‘I’d like to go far in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup’

"Dejan Kulusevski is still not available; Pedro Porro is not available. Destiny Udogie - yes.
“Richarlison, you already know - nothing has changed for the Carabao Cup or Premier League; the situation is the same.

“We have to see [if Luca Williams-Barnett and Malachi Hardy play] because many players need to play. Maybe not 90 minutes, but 30 minutes. A real game is important. Yes, there is not Sandro Tonali. I forgot to say because he felt a knock.
“I think Lucas Bergvall is not another player, Mathys Tel, also [so they could play at Anfield.]
