Ange Postecoglou facing some big decisions for Carabao Cup semi-final second leg at Anfield

New Tottenham signings Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel are available for Thursday's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Liverpool.

Ange Postecoglou likely faces a choice between Danso and Archie Gray alongside Ben Davies at centre-half after revealing that Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero are not fit enough to start at Anfield. Radu Dragusin is out for the season with a torn ACL.

Tel, who joined Spurs on loan from Bayern Munich on deadline day, could come straight into the front three, although Postecoglou has tended to use Dejan Kulusevski on the right wing during big games and is unlikely to leave out either No9 Richarlison or captain Heung-min Son.

Pape Matar Sarr, Lucas Bergvall, Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma are jostling for three spots in midfield, with the Senegalese a possible impact sub again.

Spurs will also be without Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, James Maddison, Wilson Odobert, Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke and Timo Werner.

Spurs lead 1-0 from last month's first leg in north London and are vying to meet Newcastle or Arsenal in the final.

Spurs predicted XI (4-3-3): Kinsky; Porro, Danso, Davies, Spence; Bentancur, Bissouma, Bergvall; Kulusevski, Son, Richarlison

Injured: Van de Ven, Dragusin, Romero, Odobert, Udogie, Vicario, Johnson, Solanke, Werner
