Tottenham fans have reacted to Mauricio Pochettino's starting XI for the Premier League clash v Liverpool on Sunday afternoon, and are not happy at the prospect of Kieran Trippier going up against Sadio Mane. The team news was announced on the official Tottenham Twitter page ahead of the 4.30pm kick-off on Sunday afternoon.

The attacking side of the team is as expected, with Harry Kane supported by Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Heung-Min Son. However, Tottenham fans were expecting to see Serge Aurier at right back instead of Trippier and it's got them fearing the worst. Here is a selection of the best reactions from Tottenham fans ahead of the game:

Could've done with faster full backs here, but okay...
Shame Lucas Moura isn't even on the bench as well.
However, it's a good side. We're in good form. Fingers crossed we put in a performance! #COYS pic.twitter.com/jZ2oic3zUh

Tottenham would leapfrog Liverpool into third place in the league with victory at Anfield this afternoon. They're currently in fifth spot, outside of the Champions League places, with 48 points, but still ahead of Arsenal in sixth with this game in hand. In other Tottenham news,
