How Liverpool could line up against Tottenham Hotspur

Sports Mole looks at how Liverpool could line up for their huge showdown with Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday.

Liverpool have a tricky home test against fellow top-six side Tottenham Hotspur on their return to Premier League action this weekend.

The Reds entered the international break on the back of a nervy 2-1 win over Fulham, seeing them leapfrog Manchester City at the top of the table after playing a game more than their title rivals.

Tottenham head to Anfield on the back of a poor run of form, having collected just one point from the last 12 on offer, but this is the toughest of Liverpool's remaining seven fixtures.

Ahead of Sunday's showdown on Merseyside, Sports Mole looks at how Jurgen Klopp may set out his side.

Liverpool are still sweating over the fitness of defender Alexander-Arnold, who withdrew from international duty with England because of a back problem.

Klopp will be desperate to get his specialist right-back up to full speed in time for this weekend's visit of Spurs, but the match will likely come too soon for Oxlade-Chamberlain and Gomez, who are both back in training.

Shaqiri and Keita are Liverpool's two other fitness doubts, struggling with a groin and muscle injury respectively.

The biggest decision for Klopp to make is in central midfield, with Georginio Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Keita, James Milner and Adam Lallana all battling for three spots.

Up top, the same front three is expected and no player has scored more Premier League goals in 2019 than Sadio Mane.
