Liverpool vs Tottenham: Predicted Premier League Lineup | OneFootball

Liverpool Eye Premier League Glory in Tottenham Showdown

Slot’s Selection Puzzle for Title-Deciding Clash

As Liverpool prepare to host Tottenham in a pivotal Premier League encounter at Anfield, the title sits tantalisingly within reach. Arne Slot, armed with an almost fully-fit squad, knows that a single point would be enough to secure Liverpool’s 20th league crown — but settling for second best has never been the Anfield way.

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s timely return to fitness, marked by a goal from the bench against Leicester, has further bolstered Liverpool’s ranks. Only Joe Gomez remains sidelined, though optimism surrounds his comeback before the season’s curtain falls.

“If his recovery goes well, he would be able to [play] maybe in the last one or two games of the season,” Slot explained on Friday. “But he is still not training with us yet. But he is coming closer and closer to train with the team.”

Alexander-Arnold is expected to step straight back into the starting XI, likely at the expense of the promising Conor Bradley. Beyond that, continuity is the order of the day for Slot’s selections.

Fierce Battle for Attacking Roles

While Mohamed Salah is certain to resume his role on the right, the remaining places in Liverpool’s front three offer a tantalising selection headache. Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz have done enough to earn the manager’s faith in recent weeks, but Diogo Jota presents a lively alternative, ready to offer directness and instinctive finishing if called upon.

Darwin Nunez, Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones are poised for roles from the bench, underlining the squad depth that has underpinned Liverpool’s relentless push towards the Premier League summit.

It is Salah, however, who shoulders the expectation of delivering a decisive performance. The Egyptian king, a figure of enduring brilliance, will be desperate to leave his imprint on a day that could echo through Liverpool’s illustrious history.
