Tottenham Hotspur will host Liverpool at their home ground in their Premier League clash on Sunday afternoon.
Spurs who just qualified for UEFA Champions League round of 16 after victory over Marseille will face Jurgen Klopp's men at Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
The game is expected to kick off at 5:30pm GMT.
Tottenham are winless in their last nine Premier League matches against Liverpool (D3 L6). Failing to win today would mean just the second time in the club's history they have failed to beat Liverpool in ten matches.
On the other hand, Liverpool have failed to score just once in their last 20 Premier League games against Tottenham back in a goalless draw in October 2015.
INJURY NEWS
Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura both injured in the midweek win at Marseille.
Conte has decided to replaced them in Tottenham's starting XI by right wing-back Emerson Royal and midfielder Yves Bissouma.
While Harry Kane will get support from Dejan Kulusevski who has made his return back on the bench.
Meanwhile for the Reds, Andy Robertson, Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott all come back into the starting XI.
Nunez got a goal and an assist off the bench in the mid-week victory over Napoli and Jurgen Klopp will be hopeful he can repeat that kind of form today.
