Tottenham take on Liverpool tonight in a Carabao Cup semi-final first leg in, arguably, the biggest game of their season so far. Spurs are in a difficult run of results with five defeats and just two victories in their last 10 matches while Liverpool have not lost since mid-September.
Arne Slot's side did suffer a surprise result this past weekend with Manchester United picking up a point at Anfield and they were perhaps unfortunate to not claim all three. Prior to that, Liverpool had won 12 of their last 14 games with one of those triumphs coming at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Two weeks on from that stunning 6-3 win, Liverpool are back in north London for the first leg of a cup semi-final with the second leg not for another four weeks. Arsenal and Newcastle are the other teams in the last four - with the latter taking a big step towards a spot in the final after beating Arsenal 2-0 away from home on Tuesday night.
While the Gunners, who face Spurs in just seven days, looked lost in attack largely owing to injuries, Postecoglou is dealing with some huge defensive absences. Micky van de Ven, Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Ben Davies and Destiny Udogie are all currently out injured.
Specifically for the Liverpool clash, there are two midfielders unavailable, as both James Maddison and Pape Matar Sarr are suspended. The frontline is where Postecoglou has the most players available with it possible Mikey Moore returns from two months out to offer a further boost in attack.
That area is also unsurprisingly where the Tottenham boss faces the most decisions - with Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, Son Heung-min, Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski all hoping to be included from the off. Exactly who will start is currently unclear but Tottenham may have dropped a big hint on two names set to feature.
On social media, Spurs uploaded their pre-match graphic promoting tonight's fixture where both captain Son and Kulusevski were featured.
Such an action often means the players are set for a prominent role in the game with that likely the case for Son and Kulusevski. The Sweden international has been Spurs' most important player this season and therefore seems destined for another start, likely in midfield because of Maddison's absence.
Son, meanwhile, despite being the club captain, was named on the bench against Newcastle, but he is very much expected to return to the starting XI for the visit of Liverpool.
