Tottenham Hotspur are three games away from their first title since 2008.
Having taken the arduous route to the Carabao Cup semi-finals, beating both Manchester clubs en route to the quarter-finals, Tottenham are now preparing for a two-match clash with Premier League leaders Liverpool. If they are victorious in both matches, they will face either Newcastle United or arch rivals Arsenal in the big event.

Midfielder: Archie Gray – Gray has performed admirably in Spurs' injured and unfamiliar backline, but the centre-back is unlikely to be the youngster's long-term position. He has, to say the least, been offered plenty of exposure to first-team football recently.

AM: Diane Kulusevski – Kulusevski was Tottenham's saving grace against Liverpool last month and the influential Swede has been relentlessly impressive in attacking midfield or in a wide role this season.
Left wing: Son Heung-min – After his contract was extended until 2026Son is supposed to celebrate his return to the starting lineup on Wednesday. Postecoglou suggested the hectic fixture list led to the South Korean's presence Dropped in on the weekend.
