Tottenham Hotspur FC team news: Mauricio Pochettino confirms Michel Vorm will replace Hugo Lloris for EFL Cup clash v Liverpool

Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed Hugo Lloris will sit out of Tottenham’s EFL Cup clash against Liverpool on Tuesday, with Michel Vorm set to replace the French keeper.

Vorm has made four appearances so far this season, starting the first three games of the Premier League season when Lloris was out of action through injury.

He also played in Spurs’ previous EFL Cup fixture - a 5-0 win over Gillingham - and Pochettino has lined up Vorm for another start against the Reds.

He impressed in his showings in the early weeks of the season, and the Argentine manager insisted he deserves to play - especially as Lloris is not a ‘machine# who can play every match.
