Henderson, Wijnaldum, Lallana

Normally this is the area where Klopp has a selection dilemma but things don’t look very good for Liverpool here as some of their midfielders are injured. James Milner was the most recent addition to a list that already includes Fabinho and Naby Keita.

Reds skipper Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum have both done very well this season so far and will most likely start against Spurs. This leaves Adam Lallana and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain battling for the final spot.

For now, I’ll go with the former who produced an impressive performance in the FA Cup fixture against Everton. Besides, it might be good for Klopp to bench Oxlade-Chamberlain as a precautionary as he recently returned from an injury he sustained during the Club World Cup final against Flamengo.

That said, it won’t be much of a surprise if the 26-year-old starts ahead of Lallana.

Salah, Mane Firmino

Now, we come to the part of the squad which Spurs will probably fear the most, the attack. Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino have been in fine form this season, scoring a combined 27 goals in the Premier League so far.

It’s been nearly nine months since all three of LFC forwards got on the score sheet and Saturday’s match would be a fine occasion for the trio to find the net.
