Latest team news for Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool
Tottenham continued to face a depleted defense during the Christmas period, with Ben Davies (hamstring), Cristian Romero (thigh), Micky van de Ven (hamstring), and Guglielmo Vicario (ankle) all unavailable for this match, along with Mikey Moore (ill), Wilson Odobert (hamstring), Richarlison (hamstring), and Rodrigo Bentancur suspended.
However, Timo Werner could return after recovering from a viral infection, while Destiny Udogie – who left the pitch early in the match against Southampton – only missed the EFL Cup win due to "a little pain" and is expected to be fit enough to face Mohamed Salah on Sunday.
Udogie replacing Djed Spence – despite Spence's good form – may be the only change Postecoglou is considering for this crucial match, where captain Son only needs one assist to set a new club record for Premier League assists, having already equaled Darren Anderton's 68 assists last weekend.
On Liverpool's side, their squad issues also only concern the defense, but are not as worrying as Tottenham's, with Conor Bradley (hamstring) and Ibrahima Konate (knee) being the only two absentees this weekend.
Robertson was eligible to play after serving his EFL Cup suspension, but with his current form not as sharp as before and Kostas Tsimikas having returned from an ankle injury, Tsimikas's selection as his replacement was not surprising.
After a full rest in midweek, Salah could continue to write Premier League history. The Egyptian forward has scored 13 goals and provided 9 assists in the Premier League this season, and he could become the first player in history to reach double digits in both metrics before Christmas in a single season.

Latest football match prediction: Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool
When Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou approached Ruben Amorim to embrace him on the touchline at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday evening, the knowing smile on his face said it all; he had just watched his team weather a series of storms to move closer to Wembley, with just two games remaining.
Two major errors from Fraser Forster opened the door for Manchester United to come back into play in Thursday night's semi-final, after Tottenham went 3-0 up. However, Forster's counterpart, Altay Bayindir, also made mistakes, and Son Heung-min's corner kick that flew straight into the net decided the result.
Postecoglou, who also displayed a rather humorous side in his post-match interview, could soon end Spurs' 17-year trophy drought if his predictions of winning silverware in a second season come true. Tottenham's dramatic victory came after they had beaten Southampton 5-0 in their earlier Premier League match.
Spurs scored five goals in the first half of their match against Southampton, the first time in their Premier League history they have done so, but they remain mid-table, five points behind a Champions League spot.
After ending a four-game winless streak at home, Tottenham's next objective is to avoid a four-game winless run at home in the Premier League, something they haven't experienced since their White Hart Lane days in 2013.
Liverpool, who are home this Sunday, beat Southampton in just 45 minutes in the Premier League last week, but Liverpool's Arne Slot had a much tougher time overcoming bottom-of-the-table teams in midweek's cup competition, winning by just one goal instead of five.
Goals from Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott in the first half gave Liverpool the lead, rendering Cameron Archer's spectacular strike meaningless and bringing them closer to defending their EFL Cup title, one of four trophies they are vying for.
Currently, Liverpool are on a 20-match unbeaten run across all competitions and still lead the Premier League table, but their lead over their rivals is no longer secure as Chelsea have narrowed to just two points after Liverpool's consecutive draws against Newcastle United and Fulham.
Nevertheless, salvaging a point in the 2-2 draw with Fulham after Andy Robertson received a red card in the first half was a commendable achievement, and no team has been able to beat Liverpool away from home this season; they are the only team in the Premier League to maintain an unbeaten record when playing away from home.
Furthermore, only two of Liverpool's last 23 Premier League matches against Tottenham have ended in defeat, although one of those losses was at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last season, when a "serious error" and an own goal from Joel Matip cost them dearly.
