Tottenham are back in action on Sunday when they head to Anfield to face a Liverpool side that will be this season’s Premier League champions. There isn’t a great deal riding on this one, but Spurs need to avoid being on the wrong side of history, still seven points away from equalling their worst-ever points total - 44 points.

Ange Postecoglou will also want to see his men establish some momentum as they look to progress to the Europa League final and ultimately win the competition, currently at the semi-final stage, where they will face Bodo/Glimt over two legs, starting next Thursday.

Liverpool will want to finish the season in the same sort of form they have shown all season, and games between the Reds and Spurs do tend to be entertaining affairs.

Spurs have struggled with injuries all season, and their injury updates have been pretty lengthy for much of the campaign, but they are finally in a position where they have much of their squad available to play. Liverpool are in a similar scenario, and below you can see the only players who will miss - or indeed be at risk of missing - this fixture barring any fresh training issues, and we will get the latest from both managers across Thursday and Friday.

Joe Gomez - Out

Gomez is hoping to return until the end of the season, but he will miss this one. Slot has said: “Joe had surgery for his hamstring injury, so he's out for a long time. He will be back maybe just before the end of the season.”

Heung-min Son - Doubt

Postecoglou ruled Son out of Monday’s game, and he will be a doubt here. He said: "He's been dealing with a foot problem for a while, so now is as good a time as any to give him the right time to to get over it. He'll definitely miss Monday.

"It's been something he's been dealing with for a little while and it got to the point where not only it wasn't improving, but it was deteriorating, and it's one of these things where rest is going to be as important as anything else with that kind of injury. So, we'll give him that time. Sonny is the kind of guy who always wants to train, so we'll put him on ice for the next few days and see how he responds to that."

Radu Dragusin - Out

Dragusin is out for the rest of the season and likely a chunk of next term with an ACL injury. Postecoglou confirmed at the time: “Radu underwent surgery today following his ACL injury. That procedure has now been completed, and the centre-back will now commence with his recovery before beginning the rehab process.”

Spurs defender Cristian Romero has been linked with a move to La Liga giants Real Madrid in recent months.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero is sure to have ruffled some feathers in North London as new quotes emerge of the centre-back admitting he is ‘open’ to a transfer away from the club this summer.

The 26-year-old has been linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent months and Romero outright named La Liga as a potential preferred next destination in his career. The World Cup winner is under contract at Tottenham Hotspur until 2027, having signed a five year deal in 2022.

The Argentina international arrived at Spurs from Atalanta for around £42 million. Romero has gone on to make 121 appearances for the London outfit and has been a regular this season when not battling a hamstring injury.

Cristian Romero puts in 5/10 showing v Nottingham Forest

Romero played 45 minutes against Nottingham Forest on Monday night, coming off at half-time alongside Micky Van de Ven in a planned substitution from Ange Postecoglou ahead of facing Liverpool this weekend and the Europa League semi-final next week. Speaking about the sub, Postecoglou said: “I thought they needed to play some minutes because it becomes 10 days leading into Liverpool (on Sunday).

“With both of them, we’ve got them in a really good place physically now and I just want to keep them ticking over. I felt that there was no need to play more than 45 minutes today and we needed to get a couple of others game time.”

The centre-back was part of a dismal first half from Spurs, and endured an embarrassing moment alongside Van de Ven as Chris Wood ghosted in unmarked to score the second Forest goal.

LondonWorld rated the defender a 5/10 for his efforts and said: “Chris Wood made both the World Cup winner and Van de Ven look a league below as he nipped in easily to nod home a Nottingham Forest second. Did make one good tackle before being hooked at half time.”

Tottenham star ‘open to anything’ amid transfer talk

In the hours after the match, a quote shared with Argentine journalist Gastón Edul on his TV show 'Los Edu' started to circulate. Romero said: “I’d love to play La Liga. I’d love to, honestly. It depends on a lot of things. We’ll see after the [English] championship is over. The truth is, I haven’t spoken to my agent yet, but I’m open to anything. My goal is always to grow and go to new places to continue developing.

“Above all else, I try to take one day at a time. There are two months left until the end of the season and I’m always thinking about performing at my best. We’re in the Europa League semi-finals. It’s an important step for the club which hasn’t reached this stage for so many years. I’d like to win it.”

While the commitment to Europa League success is some good news for Tottenham Hotspur, Romero teasing a potential departure is less impressive at such a crunch time in the season. It’s not just Real Madrid linked with interest in the centre-back, with Atletico Madrid also believed to be monitoring a deal.

Providing an update on the transfer saga earlier this month, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano told GiveMeSport: "It’s a possibility but not something guaranteed as it depends on Daniel Levy, and we know how strong Spurs are in negotiations. So it’s something possible, definitely; but it has to be an important financial package or Levy won’t accept anything."

The return of Leeds United and Burnley to the Premier League is set to be of financial benefit for top flight sides.

Leeds United and Burnley have booked a place in the Premier League next season with the top two of the Championship table confirmed for this season following the latest round of results on Easter Monday.

Daniel Farke’s side thrashed Stoke City 6-0 at Elland Road while Burnley got the better of promotion rivals Sheffield United with a 2-1 win at Turf Moor. The Whites and the Clarets will take the place of Southampton and Leicester City, with both sides already condemned to relegation following dismal top flight seasons.

Ipswich Town are set to join the Saints and Foxes with all three of last year’s promoted Championship sides headed straight back down to the second tier. The Tractor Boys must win all of their remaining games and overturn a 20-goal difference with 17th placed West Ham to stay up, with the Hammers needing just one point.

Why West Ham and Spurs benefit from Leeds United and Burnley promotion

The promoted and relegated sides once again points to an ever-growing chasm in quality between the Premier League and Championship with the same teams yo-yoing between divisions. However, the return of Leeds United and Burnley to the Premier League is good financial news for West Ham, Tottenham Hotspur and rivals.

Leeds United were relegated from the Premier League in 2023 with Burnley going down last summer. Both clubs have received parachute payments from the Premier League and would have been due them for the 2025/26 season if promotion had not been achieved, as pointed out by LiverpoolWorld.

Football finance expert Kieran Maguire claims that Leeds United and Burnley would have been in line for £51 million but that fee will now be divided equally between the current top flight teams. That means that West Ham, Tottenham Hotspur and rivals will have £2.55 million added to their finances.

Maguire, a lecturer at the University of Liverpool, posted on X: “When Leicester & Southampton were relegated in 2022/23 and promoted the following season £102m in parachute payments were saved...these savings have been split between Premier League clubs. Should Burnley and Leeds be promoted today then a further £51m will be saved...this will also be divided between PL clubs.”

Maguire added: “Instead of receiving parachute payments of £35m and £16m next season Burnley and Leeds will both be picking up £110m plus in the Premier League. The parachute payments not being paid out will be divided by the 20 PL clubs.”

Sheffield United still in contention for Premier League promotion

Sheffield United still have a chance of promotion to the Premier League via the play-off spots and, should Chris Wilder’s side manage that, more savings will be on the way to current top flight sides. The Blades are guaranteed to finish third but have never tasted success in the play-offs, despite vying for promotion through that format nine times in the club’s history.

Reacting to his side’s possible promotion ahead of the Burnley result, Leeds United manager Daniel Farke said: "I normally celebrate with cake and coffee on the sofa because I'm at an age where I'm pretty tired after a game if I'm honest. If there is something major to celebrate, I'm not sure. If I have to back one side to go to Burnley and get a win it's Chris Wilder's boys. This league is crazy and I'm just willing to celebrate when it's just really done.

"This was a major step. If there's something to celebrate maybe today and one of the next days believe me I will be a fire beast, there will be some other drinks. Normally I like to speak about the next training session but I will be the first on the table."

Tottenham Hotspur jubilation in Europe was short lived over the Easter break as high-flying Nottingham Forest provided a humbling reminder of the ever-present issues in North London for Ange Postecoglou.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s impressive Forest side found themselves 2-0 up after just 16 minutes thanks to goals from Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood, with the hosts doing little to stop that happening. There was little toil from Postecoglou’s side in front of a frustrated Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but a late Richarlison header did make for a frantic injury time hunt for an equaliser.

Those efforts were all too late as Forest left the capital with all three points and a return to third place. Here’s how the Tottenham Hotspur players rated in the 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest.

Tottenham Hotspur player ratings

GK - Guglielmo Vicario, 3

Not good. Got a hand on the Anderson shot, which indicates he probably should’ve stopped it despite the deflection. Then was a silly boy when flying out to try and punch the ball in before Wood headed home, leaving the goal open.

LB - Pedro Porro, 6

Did find himself in dangerous positions on the edge of the Nottingham Forest box but needed 75 minutes to get his deliveries warmed up. Eventually put one plum on Richarlison’s head, which was missed, before doing the same shortly after - which the Brazilian scored from.

CB - Cristian Romero, 5

Chris Wood made both the World Cup winner and Van de Ven look a league below as he nipped in easily to nod home a Nottingham Forest second. Did make one good tackle before being hooked at half time.

CB - Micky Van de Ven, 4

Looked stuck in mud for the Wood goal, the centre-back needs to be so much more alert than that. Taken off at the break as Postecoglou swapped out both his centre backs in a planned change.

RB - Djed Spence, 7

A constant threat when running forward, keeping Nicolas Dominguez guessing when he cut in. Just lacked the creative flair to make those bombarding runs lead to good Spurs chances.

CM - Rodrigo Bentancur, 6

The best of the midfield trio. Wily at times as he got in the way to break up some Forest moves and tried to get things going. Was skipped past so easily by Callum Hudson-Odoi in the second half, as the stadium sighed.

CM - Pape Sarr, 4

Found himself getting forwards more than usual, but doesn’t quite seem to have the skill set to play that sort of position. More needed from him.

CM - Dejan Kulusevski, 5

Could’ve been more lively on the edge of the box to pinch the loose ball before Elliot Anderson smashed it home. Generally sluggish at times compared to the Forest team but unlucky not to score with a brilliant flicked header in the second half, cleared off the line superbly by Harry Toffolo.

Spurs wingers Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert pack pace but no punch

LW - Mathys Tel, 6

Tenacious early on but saw his influence fade. Lashed a good opportunity well wide after a mistake from Neco Williams when he should have just calmly slotted in.

ST - Richarlison, 6

Felt hard done by at multiple moments when Nottingham Forest players grappled with his shirt but would have been better off just getting on with it. Did carry an aerial threat all game and eventually headed home, but that goal could have completed a hat-trick of headers. Needs to be available to receive the ball so much more.

RW - Wilson Odobert, 7

Looked the most likely to create an opening for Spurs with his deliveries into the box. At times, hit with too much pace, but will be frustrated not to have seen a teammate attack them - when Richarlison eventually did, Sarr got in his way.

SUB - Kevin Danso, 7

Had the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium groaning when he passed the ball to the ever-dangerous Anderson after 65 minutes. Was an improvement on the original centre-back pairing with some drive going forwards.

SUB - Ben Davies, 7

Caught unaware by Morgan Gibbs-White moments after coming on but wised up after that with some good challenges to stop dangerous Forest attacks.

SUB - Brennan Johnson, 6

A greater threat when out wide and delivering in than when looking to drive centrally and score himself. Did provide a small uplift when coming on.

SUB - Dominic Solanke, 5

Spurs were crying out for a target man to make himself available but Solanke struggled to be that outlet.

SUB - Lucas Bergvall, 5

A pretty anonymous cameo from the bench.

Tottenham are said to be interested in a player they could yet face on Monday night. Spurs are gearing up for a Premier League date with Champions League hopefuls Nottingham Forest, who have seen results go against them over the weekend.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are now outside of the top five having been in control of third spot for much of the season, but they are only goal difference behind Chelsea in fifth, while a win here will take them back into third place.

Spurs have very little to play for, but having booked their place in the Europa League semi-finals, still having a route to the Champions League, Ange Postecoglou will want to see his men keep up momentum, and not only that, but currently in 16th place, the North London side will be desperate to improve upon that position before all is said and done.

Asked ahead of this one about the challenge of maintaining motivation and producing wins in the Premier League, the Spurs boss said: “Yeah, look, it's fair to say it's been challenging. But I think part of that challenge is, obviously the rotations in the team. I think, to be fair, it's going to be similar Monday night, we're going to have to make five or six changes to the team, because we just want to make sure that everyone's sort of in the right space. But, you know, I think at the same time, we're obviously disappointed with the performance, not the performance against Wolves, but certain aspects of the Wolves game.

“And you know, we need to have the same levels of concentration and focus that we did on Thursday night, because there's no doubt Forest are tough opposition. They’re having a great season. They've got huge motivation to win on Monday night. And yeah, for us, as much as we understand that the league has been very, very disappointing, and Europa offers us a magnificent opportunity to achieve something special, I still think the best preparation for that is us to play well in the two games preceding it.”

Spurs linked with Forest man

Ahead of the game, Tottenham have been linked with a move for Forest full-back Ola Aina, who is actually a doubt for Monday night’s game. The 28-year-old, who actually has a Premier League winners’ medal from his days at Chelsea, has made 30 league appearances for Forest this season, proving to be a key player in what has been a superb season.

CaughtOffside report that Liverpool see Aina as a possible replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, or at least as a player to add depth to the position, while Tottenham are also credited with an interest to add competition to Pedro Porro. Crucially, Aina is out of contract at Forest this summer, but the East Midlands side are said to be in talks over a new deal.

Forest boss Santo said back in February: “I think so, things are going well. I am positive and confident everything is going to be solved. He’s been performing fantastically, not only this season, the last season. He’s a big, big influence on the squad, but his experience means he is a role model for everybody, especially for the young guys in the team.”

Spurs could breathe new life into their starting XI next season after falling well short of expectations in the Premier League this term.

Tottenham Hotspur moved one step closer to taking the sting out of a thoroughly disappointing season by progressing to the semi finals of the Europa League thanks to an away win at Eintracht Frankfurt.

Bringing that major piece of silverware to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would be a huge coup for the under-fire Ange Postecoglou, whose future at the club is still in jeopardy.

No matter who is in charge come the start of the 2025/26 campaign, it’s clear that Tottenham Hotspur must invest during the summer window. The squad has been short of options at times this season due to injuries and LondonWorld looks at what a dream Spurs XI may look like if current transfer rumours come true.

Spurs win race for in-demand Crystal Palace star

Goalkeeper: Guglielmo Vicario

Defenders: Djed Spence, Marc Guehi, Micky Van de Ven, Pedro Porro

Over the festive period and into the New Year, the goalkeeping position was under great scrutiny at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. An injury to Vicario saw Fraser Forster step in and then Antonin Kinsky arrived early doors in January. Spurs will be hoping that Vicario stays fit next term with the shot-stopper a reliable option between the sticks.

There could be some upheaval in the back four. Cristian Romero continues to be linked with a move to a Real Madrid side wanting defensive reinforcements having been dumped out of the Champions League by Arsenal, while Destiny Udogie could be a target for Manchester City. The rise of Djed Spence at full-back has been one of the few positives this season and there are plenty of rumours as to who could replace Romero. One name that won’t go away is that of Marc Guehi, who continues to be linked with an exit from Selhurst Park this summer.

Tottenham boost as West Ham bow out of Angel Gomes pursuit

Midfielders: James Maddison, Angel Gomes, Dejan Kulusevski

Wingers: Son Heung-min, Jack Grealish

There’s a feeling that Tottenham Hotspur are still to see the best of James Maddison, but the England international has not been helped by the team’s topsy-turvy form. The ever-versatile Dejan Kulusevski remains an asset and has impressed both on the wing and in a more central role.

Lille midfielder Angel Gomes seems destined for the Premier League this summer as his contract comes to an end in France. The midfielder is available on a free transfer and would be a major coup for Spurs, who were handed a boost this week with news that even a personal Graham Potter phone call couldn’t convince the star to pick West Ham as his destination.

Meanwhile, there’s a feeling that there could be new blood on the wings. Postecoglou had made it clear that he hopes to make the Mathys Tel loan move permanent, but the Bayern Munich loanee has not dazzled in London. Fichajes claims that Spurs could enter a bidding war for Manchester City man Jack Grealish in that position.

Wolves talisman to usurp Dominic Solanke?

Striker: Matheus Cunha

Spurs splashed a club record £65 million on Dominic Solanke last summer and the ex AFC Bournemouth man has bagged a respectable 12 goals this season. However, Fichajes this week claim that that Tottenham Hotspur are looking to sign Wolves forward Matheus Cunha on a permanent deal. That move is thought to cost at least the fee spent on Solanke with five other top flight clubs also linked with the player.

Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo has been previewing his side’s clash with Tottenham on Monday night. Spurs have little to play for in this one, now as low as 15th in the table and placing almost all focus on the Europa League.

Ange Postecoglou’s men may have put together a disastrous campaign, but they are now in the Europa League semi-final, facing Bodo/Glimt in the next round, holding a serious chance of reaching the final in Bilbao. That will give Tottenham a shot at Champions League qualification, so it will be no surprise to see players already have their eyes on those European fixtures.

As for Forest, they are now in fourth place, holding only a two-point lead over Manchester City in fifth and a three-point lead over Chelsea, keeping in mind fifth place will also be a Champions League spot. Santo’s men have been in third place for much of the season, but back-to-back defeats have seen them slip a little, although they have not been helped by the recent absence of Chris Wood.

Wood is now nearing a return, and he could be in contention for Monday night’s clash with Tottenham, with Santo confirming in his pre-match press conference: “We have to manage Chris. He has been out for a while. Everton was good but not as good as we want. We are positive that on Monday he will be better."

Asked about Tottenham’s away win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League quarter-final second leg, former Spurs boss Santo said: “We are going to watch the game. It's a big game and, for us, for analysis. It will determine what we expect for the Monday night line-up. Our focus is on that."

Santo also answered a question about the intense pressure on Ange Postecoglou, saying: “All managers, we face the same. It's up to us to try to ignore and focus on the job we can control. Like me, like Ange, like all the managers in the world, what we can control is preparing our players."

Forest’s battle for Champions League football

Forest will be desperately fighting to keep hold of a Champions League spot, but Santo has not been rattled by his side’s slip over the last couple of weeks. "We can speak whatever we want about psychology, but it is about reaction and action. More than reaction, action,” the Forest boss added.

“The expectation around us started the moment we were able to perform and get results. That is the expectation of us achieving something that was not in the initial plans - to fight for the competition that we are fighting at the moment. We are delighted. We embrace the challenge. We are not stepping back, we are stepping in. We want to embrace it. We want to try and get it. It's going to be very hard, but believe me, we are stepping in and putting everything that we have in these final moments of the season.”

Forest face Brentford, Crystal Palace, Leicester City, West Ham and Chelsea in their final games, while they also have an FA Cup semi-final with Manchester City to contend with after this game.

The Africa Cup of Nations returns next year and will take several Premier League players away from league duty.

Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and West Ham could all see key first team stars miss 10 fixtures of the 2025/26 campaign as a result of a controversial FIFA decision.

As worked out by the Liverpool Echo, with the Reds monitoring the availability of star man Mohamed Salah, the Africa Cup of Nations is set to take place in the middle of next season. The competition was pushed back from the summer of 2025 to allow the inaugural edition of FIFA’s expanded Club World Cup.

That event is taking place in the United States in June and July with Chelsea and Manchester City the two clubs set to represent the Premier League. The AFCON programming has also been impacted by the addition of two extra Champions League match days at the end of January.

AFCON pushed back for Club World Cup

AFCON is set to start on December 21 in Morocco and will run until January 18, coming bang splat in the middle of the top flight campaign, which takes place between August 16 and May 24. The fixture schedule has not yet been finalised for the Premier League with how many matches AFCON stars will miss to be confirmed.

However, the Liverpool Echo has used this season as a template to find that AFCON would have overlapped with eight Liverpool matches - six of those were Premier League games, one was the Carabao Cup quarter final, one was the seventh Champions League fixture and then the last a Carabao Cup semi final (which otherwise would have been the FA Cup third round).

That means that a Chelsea player could miss up to 10 matches if at AFCON next season, with Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham stars perhaps absent for up to nine with those clubs not set to be in the Champions League.

Chelsea, West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur stars could be involved at AFCON

At Chelsea, Nicolas Jackson is the principle worry. The striker is part of the Senegal national team and there is also David Datro Fofana, who could represent the Ivory Coast. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur could see midfielder Yves Bissouma away representing Mali while West Ham winger Mohammed Kudus is part of the Ghana international set-up.

The importance of AFCON and its impact on the Premier League was the centre of talk in February when Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher suggested it was not a ‘major tournament’. The former defender said: "I think the problem is the fact he's with Egypt, and he's probably not playing in the major tournament as such, or maybe got a great chance of winning, I think it's either the Champions League or the major tournament. Normally, the player who excels in that."

Former Manchester City man Micah Richards replied: “I’ll just say, AFCON is a major tournament. A lot of people at home will say they’re taking that seriously. AFCON is a major tournament, just so you know.”

Also in the studio, Daniel Sturridge hit back: “It’s a fact, it’s a fact. If you win the Euros or the Copa America it’s deemed to be big, so AFCON is on the same level.”

Tottenham are now preparing for their Europa League second leg with Eintracht Frankfurt, heading to Germany on level terms after a frustrating first leg. Spurs dominated the first leg for the most part, but found themselves unable to find a winner after coming from behind.

Since the first leg, the North London club was thrashed by strugglers Wolves away from home, with all momentum eliminated, though, there may be an element of players saving their best for the Europa League due to already being out of contention for the European places in the Premier League.

The Europa League remains an avenue to the Champions League, but Spurs are going to have to win the competition, and it might also take that impressive feat for Ange Postecoglou to keep his job, too, with the Australian under intense pressure after a disastrous season.

The first challenge will be producing an away win against a Frankfurt side sat in third place in Bundesliga, coming off a 3-0 win over Heidenhaim. And for those who believe in bad omens, Spurs might just have been handed one by UEFA with the confirmation of the referee for the fixture.

Italian official Davide Massa has been appointed, and Tottenham have a sole bad memory of Massa being in charge. His only Spurs fixture came in 2021 when Tottenham suffered a comeback defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the Round of 16 of this competition, losing 3-0 after extra time. Spurs had won the first leg 2-0 but collapsed away from home. Massa gave out just one yellow card in that fixture, so he did not produce a controversial performance.

The good news is that Eintracht Frankfurt have also only has Massa for one game previously, and that was a 3-0 defeat to Arsenal in the group stage of the 2019/20 Europa League. Though, it’s worth noting that the fixture did come a couple of years before Frankfurt truly hit their stride, with the German club hitting a real surge over recent years. Frankfurt are currently on course for Champions League qualification in Bundesliga.

Tel on Frankfurt test

Speaking after the Wolves game, Spurs star Mathys Tel spoke about the upcoming game against Frankfurt and the need to bounce back. He told Tottenham’s official channel: “It’s a difficult day. We know that, but we can’t give up. We have to learn from this situation. We have to show who we are and go again. We have a big game on Thursday, and we have to be ready, go ahead and don’t give up. It’s about concentration. We have to concentrate from the first minute until the last minute.”

On scoring against Wolves and his personal form, Tel added: “I’m very happy to score my second goal in the Premier League, but I’m a person who just looks (out) for my team, always my team. Yes, I scored a goal, but we lost, so I’m not happy. I thought we showed some good things, but we made a lot of mistakes and that’s why we lost.”

All the latest as Tottenham continue to ponder Ange Postecoglou’s future.

Tottenham continue to falter, losing 4-2 to strugglers Wolves over the weekend, leaving them as low as 15th in the Premier League. Injuries have plagued their season, but even with many of the players back, Spurs fans have not seen much improvement over recent weeks.

Ange Postecoglou is now coming under intense scrutiny as a result, with other managers now being linked with his job. Here we round up the latest on the situation.

Tottenham still to make a decision

Tottenham are almost certain to stick with Postecoglou until the end of the season, given they would not get a permanent replacement at this stage of the season even if they were to pull the trigger, and it would do them no good to have an interim boss between now and then.

While the Premier League campaign has been a disaster this term, Tottenham’s season remains alive for as long as they are in the Europa League, heading into Thursday night’s quarter-final with Eintracht Frankfurt on level terms.

If they can somehow win that competition, Spurs will secure Champions League qualification, and that would make it a relatively successful season on the basis of meeting their principle goal. But whether or not they do qualify for Europe for next season, there is going to be a big decision to make on Postecoglou this summer.

What Postecoglou has said

Postecoglou last spoke after the 4-2 defeat to Wolves, saying: “Obviously a disappointing result. Funny game, because for the most part, I thought our football was decent considering all the changes we've made. For the most part we controlled large parts of it, were a threat going forward and didn't give them too much. But then obviously we conceded some pretty poor goals and that made it awfully difficult to get an outcome today.

"It's not like the players are doing it on purpose, so you have an understanding that that's the unfortunate things that sometimes happen in a game of football. Probably be more frustrated if it was something that we did from a tactical perspective or organisational perspective, but they're individual errors, you know, the players don't mean to do it and, especially Lucas and Romero, I mean they're two fantastic footballers and what's important now for both of them is that they recover and we focus on the next game."

Prime candidates

According to a report from The Athletic, Tottenham have three main targets if they decide to move on from Postecoglou. AFC Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola is said to be atop the list having impressed on the South Coast, while he also worked wonders with very little at Rayo Vallecano.

The report goes on to add that Fulham’s Marco Silva and Thomas Frank are also under consideration. All three bosses have overperformed with limited resources at their current clubs.
