Tottenham could welcome back Destiny Udogie and Timo Werner for Sunday's match against Liverpool but Ange Postecoglou remains without a host of first-team players against the league leaders.

Udogie was forced off during Spurs' win against Southampton last weekend but the problem clearly wasn't serious, while Werner was absent for the League Cup win against Manchester United through illness.

"Timo was unwell yesterday so we've got 48 hours or so before the game and hopefully he will recover [in time to face Liverpool]," Postecoglou said.

Meanwhile, Liverpool head coach Arne Slot defended Ange Postecoglou's style of play after the Australian came in for criticism for his all-or-nothing approach in recent weeks.

Spurs have recorded some excellent results this season but have been wildly inconsistent, letting two-goal leads slip on multiple occasions and losing the joint-highest amount of league matches outside of the Premier League's bottom four.

Still, Slot is an admirer of Postecoglou and willed him to win some silverware in North London: “They’ve always been a certain brand of football for me and have a certain identity.

I think Ange ­Postecoglou gives them that identity back completely.

I hope this is seen a bit more.

I also hope, hope, hope that he wins a trophy – not the League Cup.

“I’m completely a fan of his team for the Europa League because people always talk about trophies and that it’s so important.

For his brand of football and his style, it is so much more important and if he can combine that with winning something that would be so good for football in general because people can stop talking about it’s too attacking or ­whatever.
