Preview: Tottenham vs Liverpool
At this point in the season of 2023/24, both Tottenham and Liverpool start pretty okay. And although Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Spurs has shown attacking flair, powered by the creativity of James Maddison and the constant goal-scoring threat posed by Son Heung-min, Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool, which has been the lot best performing, continues with the attacking line established by Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, and Cody Gakpo.
Both teams have been scoring freely and if the aim is to dominate possession, this contest is going to be an exciting, highly attacking match with numerous goal-scoring opportunities.
Tottenham vs Liverpool Lineups
Tottenham Hotspur: Team news & lineup
Spurs go into this encounter with an almost-fit squad. There aren’t serious injury issues that would make Postecoglou name another eleven. Here’s the confirmed starting XI:
- Goalkeeper: Vicario
- Defenders: Pedro Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie
- Midfielders: Sarr, Bissouma, Kulusevski, Maddison, Son
- Forward: Richarlison
Spur is going to line up with a frontline which consists of Richarlison up front as the main hero, flanked by wingers Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski. The midfield is essentially going to be marshaled by Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr, who are going to maintain control for Tottenham in the center of the park. With Tottenham having no serious injury concerns, they are going to try and press the high lines and look to take advantage of Liverpool’s defense through wingers’ pace.
Liverpool: Team News & Lineup
As in the case of Tottenham, Liverpool has a solid lineup for the match but with big players still missing. Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic are still out injured while Trent Alexander-Arnold is likely to miss the start and feature off the bench. Here is the lineup with which Liverpool will start against Atletico Madrid:
- Goalkeeper: Alisson
- Defenders: Gomez, Konaté, Van Dijk, Robertson
- Midfielders: Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Jones
- Forwards: Salah, Gakpo, Luis Diaz
The Red approach is going to stick with a tested combination that sees Liverpool overutilize high-pressing attacks spearheaded by Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz. Dominik Szoboszlai will orchestrate things from midfield, giving quick transitions and lots of wing play for Liverpool; Tottenham’s pace and creativity should give the defense led by Virgil van Dijk plenty of problems to solve.
Injury Updates and Doubts
Tottenham Hotspur: No serious issues for Tottenham’s team, as most of its squad is injury-free.
Liverpool:
- Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic out.
- Trent Alexander-Arnold was back in training. However, he might sit for this match due to a slight strain in the hamstring.
- Ben Doak is doubtful for Liverpool due to this, while Conor Bradley remains on his recovery road.
Tottenham vs Liverpool Prediction
The two teams have been in great form this season, so the match could go down as a thriller. Of course, on their day, any team can match up at Tottenham with their attacking flair, but Liverpool are so compact and creative that I just think this is going to be an open game with goals at both ends.
