Here's the Tottenham team that Igor Tudor has selected to face Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon

Igor Tudor has named the Tottenham team that he hopes can pull of the club's first victory at Anfield since 2011 as they take on Liverpool without 13 missing players on Sunday.

The Croatian has confirmed at his pre-match press conference that captain Cristian Romero and Joao Palhinha would be missing on Merseyside as they are in the concussion protocol following their clash of heads in the closing stages of Spurs' 5-2 Champions League defeat at Atletico Madrid.

Tudor's job is at risk after four successive defeats since arriving in N17 with no improvements to the form or performances since he replaced Thomas Frank. He is also missing Yves Bissouma with a muscle problem, Micky van de Ven through suspension. Conor Gallagher has been suffering from a fever and has not recovered for the game.

That means Archie Gray appears to be back in midfield alongside Pape Matar Sarr, with Pedro Porro on the right of a back three with Souza and Djed Spence as the full-backs to face Liverpool.

Guglielmo Vicario is back in goal for Antonin Kinsky. Richarlison and Dominic Solanke have both scored in recent games and start with Mathys Tel while Xavi Simons remains on the bench alongside Randal Kolo Muani.

Here's the Tottenham team Tudor has selected:

Vicario; Porro, Danso, Dragusin; Spence, Gallagher, Sarr, Spence; Xavi; Solanke, Richarlison. Subs: Kinsky, Austin, Xavi, Kolo Muani, Olusesi, Rowswell, Wilson.
