Ange Postecoglou needs to deploy Tottenham’s “monster” who could easily start for Liverpool

Tottenham Hotspur face Liverpool in a crucial Premier League clash on Sunday, coming off an exhilarating Carabao Cup victory over Manchester United. While Liverpool sit atop the table, recent stumbles have exposed some vulnerabilities in Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Spurs have their own injury concerns, with goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and key defenders Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven sidelined. However, the potential return of left-back Destiny Udogie could be pivotal against Liverpool’s potent attack.

At just 22 years old, Udogie has already established himself as one of the Premier League’s top full-backs. His combination of physicality, athleticism and technical ability make him ideally suited to contain Liverpool’s dangerous right flank, including Mohamed Salah.

Described as a “monster” and “sickeningly good” by pundits, Udogie ranks among the league’s best full-backs in progressive passes, carries, tackles and blocks. His two-way impact could be decisive in neutralizing Liverpool’s threats while providing an attacking outlet for Spurs.

With Liverpool potentially eyeing left-back reinforcements soon, Udogie’s performance may draw even more attention. For now, he remains a key weapon for Tottenham as they look to upset the league leaders and continue their strong start under Postecoglou.
