The 22 men that will likely take the field for Spurs v Liverpool

Posted by

Bar potentially one or two changes, we’re pretty sure these will be the sides that line up for Tottenham and Liverpool on Saturday.

Spurs are without Hugo Lloris and Dele Alli, so will likely bring in Michel Vorm between the sticks and Eric Dier centrally.

Mauricio Pochettino plays a wing-back formation which allows him to field three central defenders and both Lucas Moura and Harry Kane up front, right now.

Liverpool have a fully fit squad bar Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Dejan Lovren and Adam Lallana, but none of that trio were in contention to start anyway.

As a result, the only dilemma for Jurgen Klopp is who to pick in his midfield three, with four names vying for three spots, with the assumption that Fabinho won’t be brought in at this point.

We reckon Jordan Henderson will start on the bench, with Gini Wijnaldum holding and James Milner and Naby Keita either side, which is the trio that’s performed best so far this term.

Below is our predicted XIs for both teams:

Tottenham (3-4-1-2): Vorm; Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Sanchez; Trippier, Davies, Dier, Dembele; Eriksen; Moura, Kane

Liverpool (4-3-3): Alexander-Arnold, van Dijk, Gomez, Robertson; Wijnaldum, Keita, Milner; Salah, Mane, Firmino
