Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are gearing up for a big clash at Anfield, with both teams announcing their starting XI for what promises to be an exciting encounter.
Both teams have been in poor form lately and will be expected to put in major shifts today.
Tottenham are still in the race to finish top 4 with Aston Villa losing to Brighton earlier today. Spurs can reduce the gap with a win against Liverpool. The Reds, however, are out of the title race and have pretty much nothing to play for.
Liverpool team
Jurgen Klopp brings back Salah in the starting XI despite their touchline spat during the West Ham game. He is joined by Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo in attack.
Harvey Elliot starts in the midfield alongside Endo and Alexis Mac Allister. In defence, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Robertson start on the flanks while Quansah patners Virgil van Dijk in the heart of the defence.
Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson, Elliot, Endo, Mac Allister, Salah, Gakpo, Diaz
Tottenham team
Ange Postecoglou has brought back James Maddison in the starting XI, after benching him against Chelsea. The attacking midfielder has been poor since returning from his injury, but the manager will hope he will make an impact against the Reds.
Former Everton star, Richarlison, has been dropped, with Brennan Johnson starting alongside Heung-min Son and Dejan Kulusevski.
Bentancur returns to the midfield alongside Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr.
Tottenham XI: Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Royal, Bentancur, Bissouma, Sarr, Kulusevski, Son, Johnson
