Following such a positive second-half fightback against Manchester United on Thursday evening, Tottenham return to Premier League action on Sunday afternoon against Liverpool. Moving one point ahead of the Reds courtesy of their point at home to the Erik ten Hag's men, Ryan Mason and his side will be looking to stay ahead of their European rivals come Sunday evening.
Spurs have fallen out of the Champions League spots in recent weeks and are very much in a fight to secure a European spot with Aston Villa, Liverpool and Brighton & Hove Albion all in contention for a top-seven finish. It really is a huge game at Anfield, especially with their opponents finding form at just the right time and with the team scoring goals for fun.
So how exactly should Tottenham line up against Liverpool on Sunday afternoon? Our Tottenham Hotspur reporters have named the teams they would like to see Mason opt for on Merseyside.

Taking plenty of positives from Thursday's 2-2 draw against Manchester United, Ryan Mason has a couple of decisions to make ahead of Sunday's trip to Liverpool. One of those comes in the backline after Eric Dier's struggles against the Red Devils, most notably for Marcus Rashford's goal just before the half-time whistle.
As Clement Lenglet and Ben Davies are now back to full fitness, the latter could come into the three-man defence and that could result in the former taking on Dier's central role in the backline. Another call the acting head coach must make is in regards to his attack as Dejan Kulusevski impressed in his time on the pitch after replacing Richarlison on the hour mark.
Certainly a tough decision for him with both making their case, Richarlison's battling qualities, which Mason alluded to in his pre-match press conference, could be vital in the game as Tottenham look to cause Liverpool some huge problems at the back. Kulusevski can then be an option to come on from the bench and try to open the Reds up later in the game.
The rest of the team from the Manchester United game remains the same after they showed plenty of fight to get a point against the Red Devils after going in 2-0 down at the break..
Guest's team: Forster: Romero, Lenglet, Davies; Porro, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Perisic; Son, Kane, Richarlison

Liverpool away - they don't get any easier for Ryan Mason in the Spurs hotseat do they?
Fraser Forster continues in goal, but at the back I'm going a bit rogue. Cristian Romero and Clement Lenglet keep their spots, but I'm throwing Japhet Tanganga in instead of Eric Dier, who I thought was poor against Manchester United. Tanganga has a bit more pace about him to deal with Mohamed Salah, and think he deserves a shot.
Ahead of them, it's as you were. Pedro Porro and Ivan Perisic played well on Thursday and while Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg was not great, there's no one else to partner Oliver Skipp.
I liked a lot of what I saw from Richarlison on Thursday night, but was also taken with how Dejan Kulusevski came off the bench and provided a spark. I'd be inclined to start with the same front three as started against United, which means Richarlison keeping his place alongside Harry Kane and Heung-min Son.
Wilmot's team: Forster; Romero, Tanganga, Lenglet; Porro, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Perisic; Richarlison, Son, Kane.
