Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino to rotate for Liverpool EFL Cup clash

LONDON -- Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino says he will rotate his team for Tuesday's EFL Cup fourth-round match at Liverpool.

Moussa Sissoko will serve the first of a three-match ban at Anfield after Pochettino confirmed the club had accepted a Football Association charge of violent conduct following the midfielder's elbow on Bournemouth's Harry Arter on Saturday.

Harry Kane and Toby Alderweireld are also sidelined with ankle and leg injuries respectively, while 17-year-old Marcus Edwards, who made his debut in the last round, is out for around two months with an ankle injury.

Pochettino revealed that Michel Vorm will start in goal and said he was planning to give 21-year-old winger Georges-Kevin Nkoudou his first start for the club.
