Liverpool will entertain Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday hoping to return to winning ways in the Premier League. The Reds will come into this contest at the back of a 4-1 win over Genk in the UEFA Champions League. Hence, the Merseyside club will be optimistic about their chances of earning maximum points from this home clash.
Jurgen Klopp will stick with his favoured 4-3-3 formation and might make a few changes to his side for this upcoming blockbuster clash versus the North London giants this weekend.
4-3-3 Liverpool Predicted Lineup To Face Tottenham Hotspur
Defence
Alisson Becker will retain his place in the Liverpool goal despite failing to keep a clean sheet versus Genk in midweek. Joel Matip is a slight doubt for this game, but he might recover in time to lineup alongside Virgil Van Dijk at the heart of Klopp’s backline. Both defenders have formed a solid partnership at the back and will focus on keeping a clean sheet against Spurs later this week.
Trent Alexander-Arnold will be in a race against time to be fit for this home encounter. He is expected to operate as the right-back but might be replaced by James Milner if he fails to recover from his illness. Andrew Robertson looked a bit tired against Genk on Wednesday night and is a minor doubt for this clash. If the Scottish captain gets cleared to feature versus Spurs this weekend, then he will hope to put in a tireless shift as the left-back.
The Reds full-backs will have the license to get forward so that they can create some decent goal-scoring chances for the front players.
Midfield
The talented trio of Georginio Wijnaldum, Fabinho and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlian could make up the Liverpool midfield as Klopp tries to rotate his midfield options after a tiresome Champions League trip away at Belgium. All three midfielders will be expected to work hard and orchestrate some decent goal-scoring opportunities in the opposition half.
Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Naby Keita will have to share space on the Reds bench but might get a chance to make an impact on the field if needed. Even though Klopp has preferred to play Henderson in the Premier League matches this season, Oxlade-Chamberlain might get the nod to start this weekend following his goal-scoring heroics in midweek.
Attack
The fabulous front three of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah will look to link up with each other and cause a lot of problems for the Spurs defenders at Anfield. Both Mane and Salah managed to get their names on the scoresheet versus Genk so they will be confident about putting in another impressive display when they face off against Mauricio Pochettino’s men this Sunday.
Divock Origi will have to settle for a spot on the bench, but he might be used as an impact substitute if required.
