Liverpool
Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara will not play again this season. Conor Bradley has resumed training, but Diogo Jota is sidelined with a muscle injury. Virgil van Dijk has not trained during the midweek, and he could be left out as a precaution.

In the middle of the park, Wataru Endo will start as the defensive midfielder, and he will look to break up opposition attacks. Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister will look to add creativity and control on either side of him. Darwin Nunez will lead the line for Liverpool against Tottenham, with Mohamed Salah on his right and Luis Diaz on the left.

Meanwhile, Manor Solomon remains sidelined with a knee problem, and he is likely to go under the knife once again. Finally, Ben Davies has a calf injury and he is unlikely to return this season. Spurs will shape up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Guglielmo Vicario in goal.

Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Tottenham Hotspur
Working with limited recuperation time, always vulnerable from dead-ball situations and seeing their former stars lose their way at a crucial point in the season, Tottenham's top-four hopes could officially be extinguished at Anfield. While Klopp's out-of-sorts side have flattered to deceive themselves, 28 points won from losing positions is nothing to be scoffed at, and also fuelled by September's injustice, we have faith in the hosts to - perhaps inconsequentially - revert to winning ways.
