RW – Mohamed Salah

The Egyptian was back among the goals against Manchester United at Old Trafford to take his season’s tally to 19. Salah will be looking to add to that on Thursday and help Liverpool get all three points.

The 28-year-old netted against Spurs at Anfield last month and a goal or two in this week’s fixture will certainly help his case for the Golden Boot.

CF – Roberto Firmino

The 29-year-old was Liverpool’s hero in the Anfield fixture thanks to his late header which definitely surprised Tim Sherwood, among others. Spurs have been a team against who Firmino has a pretty good scoring record with four goals in his last five league matches.

The Brazilian will be looking to find the net on Thursday while also creating scoring opportunities as he did against Man United.

LW – Sadio Mane

The goals haven’t been coming a lot for the Senegalese winger this season and he’ll be keen on finding the net on Thursday. Mane hasn’t scored for Spurs in any of their meetings in the last three seasons, coming very close last month as he hit the post.

This week’s match would definitely be a fine occasion to end his goal drought against the North London team.
