Ange Postecoglou finally has a new face to call upon if he chooses to for Tottenham's Carabao Cup semi-final first leg clash with Liverpool on Wednesday.

Spurs made their first signing of the January transfer window with the arrival of 21-year-old goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague in a deal that could be worth around £12.5million with add-ons. Postecoglou must decide whether to throw the talented stopper straight in or give Brandon Austin another chance after the academy product did well against Newcastle with Fraser Forster out sick.

Postecoglou has got Rodrigo Bentancur back from suspension but loses both James Maddison and Pape Matar Sarr to that same reason. Lucas Bergvall impressed in the midfield against Newcastle and the Spurs boss must decide whether to give the 18-year-old Swede another go in the midfield.

Seventeen-year-old Mikey Moore could also be back on the bench for the first time in a couple of months after recovering from the virus that has wiped out a chunk of his season. This match has come too soon for Richarlison who faces another week of training before being considered for match duty.

Here's the Spurs team that we reckon Postecoglou will select to take on Arne Slot's side in the cup clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
