TOTTENHAM
Possible XI: Lloris; Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Winks, Sissoko; Eriksen, Alli, Son; Kane
Out: none
Doubtful: Kane (ankle)
• Mauricio Pochettino was cagey when pressed on the fitness of Harry Kane during his Friday press conference. The Spurs striker is still considered a doubt having not played since 9 April, but is widely expected to be passed fit for a game of such magnitude. "[The players] don't know [the starting line-up]," said Pochettino. "We have one training session now and then we are ready to decide."
LIVERPOOL
Possible XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Salah, Firmino, Mané
Out: Keïta (thigh)
Doubtful: none
• Roberto Firmino has shrugged off a groin problem and is available for selection, leaving Jürgen Klopp with almost a fully-fit squad to choose from. "From his point of view, he's ready," said Klopp when addressing the media on Friday. James Milner looks most likely to miss out in midfield.
