Liverpool vs. Tottenham Hotspur - Preview , available players, prediction, team news, lineups,key player to miss the clash
On Sunday, Tottenham Hotspur will face Liverpool at Anfield for a Premier League match. This will be Ryan Mason's second time as a manager after his debut last week against Southampton. Spurs fought back from being two goals down to draw 2-2 with Manchester United in the previous game. Meanwhile, Liverpool also made a comeback after trailing behind West Ham United to win 2-1.
Liverpool's coach Jurgen Klopp has stated that his team has a slim chance of qualifying for the top-four finish and the Champions League. However, he expressed pride in his team's performance after they won against West Ham. Liverpool's goals from Cody Gakpo and Joel Matip canceled out Lucas Paqueta's opener. The officials rejected a late penalty appeal against Thiago Alcantara for handball, and Jarrod Bowen had a strike ruled out for offside.
Stefan Bajcetic (adductor) and Calvin Ramsay (knee) are still long-term absentees for Liverpool. Ibrahima Konate had some concerns over his workload, so he missed the West Ham match, but Klopp confirmed that he was not injured. Konate is expected to return to the backline, replacing Matip, who scored the winning goal against West Ham. Roberto Firmino will not play on Sunday due to his muscular problem, but there is a possibility that Naby Keita will return from a similar concern. Klopp has been reluctant to drop Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota from the first XI, but Jota was injured on Wednesday, so Klopp should consider bringing Darwin Nunez back into the team.
Tottenham had to play without Hugo Lloris against Manchester United because of his hip problem. Lloris will not play on Sunday, and Yves Bissouma (ankle), Rodrigo Bentancur (ACL), Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring), and Emerson Royal (knee) are also absent from the team. Lucas Moura returned after a three-game ban on Thursday, and Dejan Kulusevski might replace Richarlison if there are any changes in the attacking lineup. Eric Dier had a forgettable game on Thursday, but he should retain his spot in the three-man rearguard.
In conclusion, Sunday's match between Liverpool and Tottenham is expected to be exciting, and both teams will give their all to win. Despite Tottenham's recent improvement under Ryan Mason, Liverpool is still the favorite to win, considering their recent form and home advantage.
