Liverpool v Tottenham (16:30 GMT)

Virgil van Dijk is restored to Liverpool's defence after being rested against Huddersfield on Tuesday. Joel Matip drops to the bench, with Dejan Lovren starting against a Tottenham side who gave him a torrid time at Wembley in October. Trent Alexander-Arnold replaces Joe Gomez at right-back.

Liverpool XI: Karius, Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Lovren, Robertson, Can, Henderson, Milner, Salah, Firmino, Mane.

Substitutes: Mignolet, Moreno, Matip, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wijnaldum, Solanke, Ings.

Tottenham name the same starting line-up that needed around 11 seconds to score against Manchester United on Wednesday. Serge Aurier and Harry Winks return to the bench after injury; transfer deadline day signing Lucas Moura is not yet ready to feature.

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Trippier, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier, Dembele, Eriksen, Alli, Son, Kane.

Substitutes: Vorm, Aurier, Sissoko, Wanyama, Lamela, Llorente, Winks.

Liverpool going 4-3-3

 

[thefierycamel]

Aurier can't be fit enough yet, which isn't surprising really. No rose or toby at all is a bit surprising too, although same goes for them fitness wise. I wish lucas was available tbh

 

[tony0379]

Will replace the WTF with winner if he does. Otherwise I think you had a momentary lapse in reason.

He starts

 

[samspurs92]

It’s like the Man City game was so obvious that it’s unbelievable that Poch has even contemplated starting Trippier.

And then he’s gone and done it.

 

[Wsussexspur]

Good to see our bench is looking alot stronger. Bodes well Particully with Wednesday night in mind.

That’s the spirit!

Not much point being in the thread then.

 

[thinktank]

How can you tell the way we're gonna play from that lineup?

Because your girl whispered it into my ear as I was realigning her spine.

She also said you had a micro. Soz, brah.

 

[King of Otters]

That’s is a concern as remember last season Davies got torn a part by Mane.

I don't think I'll ever forget.

Depends what formation we're playing. He might be playing as a wing back in which case plays to his strengths more.

If it's the same setup that beat United though i'm concerned as Liverpool are a different team.

Trippier needed some support against Sane, that was on Poch. I wouldn’t have fancied Aurier to fare any better one on one

That midfield and defense doesn't look all that.

Cheers.

I love Poch but today he has shown is is too stubborn for the team’s own good.

Trippier over Aurier is an absolute joke, it’s going to be a blood bath.

Is this the aurier who's just back from injury?

I presume you'd also be complaining if aurier came in a bit rusty and say it was stupid to bring him back in such a big game?

 

[bomberH]

Rose is probably injured and Aurier is coming back from injury. The WB’a aren’t a surprise. Lack of pace but no real choice plus those 2 did very well against Martial and Sanchez etc.

Their team is actually quite average on paper but their front 3 changes everything. That said, would be happy with a point.

 

[oskathegobshite]

Only real suprise for me is no Rose on the bench. Hope we aren't as naive as we were up there last year.

[theShiznit]

Good to see winks back in the fold. Hope he's fully fit now...

 

[Typical Spurs]

I went to Liverpool Vs WBA last week (free ticket). A absolutely despise Liverpool so was dancing inside watching it!!

Anyway, if we can get Son 1 v 1 against Alexander-Arnold then I fancy us to cause them lots of problems, particularly if we counter them. He is definitely their weakest link.
