Tottenham press conference LIVE - Roberto De Zerbi on Richarlison, Maddison, Tel and Liverpool

Roberto De Zerbi is holding his press conference on Monday afternoon ahead of Tottenham's trip to Liverpool for their Carabao Cup clash.

All the focus is on Spurs ' lack of goals in the Premier League right now but they will take a brief break from top flight action for a tough test in third round of the cup at Anfield. Both teams are expected to heavily rotate their starting line-ups, having each played out frustrating goalless draws on Saturday, Tottenham with Everton and Liverpool with Fulham.

De Zerbi will deliver the latest injury news on Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie, who missed the weekend's game, as well as whether James Maddison is fit enough to start in the cup match, which would be his first competitive domestic start since coming off at half-time at Anfield in April last year.

The Tottenham boss will also be asked about Richarlison. football.london reported at the weekend that although the rules appear to suggest otherwise and that a player must come from within the Premier League squad, Spurs are understood to have had it confirmed with the EFL that the Brazilian would be eligible to play in the Carabao Cup if De Zerbi wanted to use him.

Our Tottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold is among those putting the questions to De Zerbi. Scroll down for his latest updates from the press conference at Hotspur Way.
