Liverpool predicted lineup vs Tottenham: TAA backs to the bench, Szoboszlai will return to the XI after a match-winning cameo against Leicester

This weekend, a pivotal Premier League matchup pits Liverpool against Tottenham Hotspur. The expected Liverpool starting XI to face Tottenham Hotspur is listed below.

Liverpool has had a tremendous start to the season, having won five of their first six Premier League contests. They are now prepared to face Tottenham Hotspur, a team that has yet to lose in the Premier League and is widely considered to be the season’s biggest surprise. Tottenham Hotspur are now in sixth place, while Liverpool are second. At the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, Jurgen Klopp’s squad will be hoping to extend their winning streak against Ange Postecoglou’s team. Here is how we think Liverpool’s starting XI will look against Tottenham Hotspur.

Let’s begin this breakdown of Jurgen Klopp’s formation for Liverpool’s probable lineup versus Spurs. The Liverpool manager has primarily used a traditional 4-3-3 formation, and it is expected that he would stick with it for this crucial matchup. It’s unlikely that Klopp will make a change from starter Alisson Becker in goal.

Trent is back in practice with the defense, but he is not expected to play right away. Instead, Joe Gomez will take over that role for Liverpool. Virgil van Dijk, a rock at central defense, is anticipated back, and Joel Matip will likely be his defensive partner. Andy Robertson will undoubtedly start as left back for the Reds.

Liverpool’s midfield is muddled by the presence of so many high-caliber players. Alexis Mac Allister, though, will almost certainly start, as he has been outstanding this year. The Reds have also benefited greatly from the signing of Dominik Szoboszlai. Given Klopp’s preference for Jones over Gravenberch this season, the latter is also a strong possibility.

Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s best player, will lead the Reds’ attack from the right wing. Darwin Nunez has been phenomenal this year, as he has been a goal-scoring machine and is now the team’s designated primary striker. In this pivotal game, Luis Diaz should replace Jota at right back.

Liverpool predicted lineup vs. Spurs: Alisson, Gomez, van Dijk, Matip, Robertson; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Jones; Salah, Nunez, Diaz.
